    It has been more than a month since I last laced up my ASICS and took them for a spin. It didn’t really bother me that I hadn’t run in such a long time, I was starting to get a little antsy. But I’ve been patient. I know that in order to heal properly, I…

    We all face challenges

    Everyone has challenges, many have battles we know nothing about. That is why training is so important. Sometimes things don’t happen as well plan so  with training so far in advance, we have plenty of time to try and try again. If you have a bad run, or going through a bad streak, keep trying.…

    RunHaven story of inspirational triumph

    I love helping and motivating others. I constantly share my story to show others that ANYTHING is possible. It may not be easy and you might have to give it many tries…but it can happen. Did I ever think that I would be up and running again? No. I stopped running for many, many, years!…

  • From a different perspective

    Life is tough, and there are constant obstacles that block our paths. But the outcome is all in how you see things. Having Scoliosis makes things much harder for me but I choose to see things from a different perspective. It’s much easier to cry all day, stay in bed, and live off of medications.…
