Hello, and welcome to my new blog. :) I don't have much to say right now, which is a bit odd, since I always have something to say. I think I shall talk about the name of my blog; "Run. Live. Breathe.". It is my own play off the quote "Peace. Love. (and the last one is always different).". I was going to name my blog after the original quote but I felt like being different.

1. Run; I chose this because I love to run, my mom loves to run, my dad loves to run, and my boyfriend (sometimes) loves to run. Running for us is not always about doing races and trying to win every time; rather many other things. For example: on a really long run its time for us to spend together so that we can bond. Although lets be honest, there is no family that is perfect, and when we are on a long run and we are tired its not always warm feeling bonding. :P Aside from running with my family I like to run by myself too. Its a time for me to think about things, relax, and feel good about myself. Sometimes when I emotionally do not feel good about myself I will go for a run and I always feel better after. :) In the past year I have done some very long runs with my mom and dad. Last fall I did my first Marathon (26.2 miles!). I was very excited because I was the youngest there! Then this spring I did an Ultra-Marathon! For those of you who might not know what a ultra-marathon is; it is anything longer than a marathon. The ultra I did was a 50K (31 miles!).
2. Live; I chose live because I believe that everyone should live to the fullest that they can and I believe that anyone can accomplish anything if they set their mind to it. If you want to build a model of the Eiffel Tower made out of cupcakes; go for it! On another note I have a very open and curious mind. I believe this is a huge part of what makes life happy and worth living for. If you live like a feather on a breeze you never know what will happen, and as a result life will never get boring! :)
3. Breathe; Lastly I choose this because everyone needs to just stop what they are doing and breathe. In these times a lot of people get to caught up in what is happening around them; weather it be work, home, or just stress in general, that they do not notice that they are not enjoying life. They just need to occasionally stop, breathe, look around, smell the flowers, and relax.
