Why she runs I started running with a colleague to train for the Corporate Challenge 5K in NYC, and discovered that I enjoyed running. It has proven to really help me not only get fit and challenge myself, but provides me with quiet time. Since that first 5K, I've successfully completed two half marathons (one in Philly!), and look forward to running the Broad Street Run for the first time.
