It was a surprise when I realized that I enjoyed running. As a kid, I had no aspirations to be athletic. When I finished my physical education requirement in high school, I assumed my days of running were over. But then, God gave me the desire to go to the Coast Guard Academy. I had to start running, and I had to be more serious about it than I ever had been in P.E. class. My father took up running so that I could train safely and not run alone. At first it was a big motivator to me that someone thirty years older than me could just start running and push me so hard. But eventually, I left him behind.
