welcome!

hello & welcome to average girl running. if you want the full low down, you can check out my about me, but i'll sum it up for you here really quick. i have no computer/blog skills, besides the basics. the reason i am here is because i am always asked for running advice. so people don't run away scared (no pun intended) when they see the word run, i like to add this disclaimer: i am not a natural born athlete/runner. i got serious about running and started doing races this june, but i first started running on a regular basis a little less than 2 years ago now. i can comfortably run a half marathon (13.1) but right now i am training at about 15 miles. 15 miles is an absolute struggle and it is proving to be a lot of hard work. i am always training and trying to be better, without letting it take over my life. i run for fun, i run for me, and i run because i love doing it. the winter months are hard, because it is much easier to just get up and hit the road then it is to get up, get in the car, drive to the gym, and run on that treadmill. i get up and do it though, because i have goals that i want to reach and the only way to reach them is hard work. 

i know that not everyone can get up and run 13.1 miles, so i want to brush up on the shorter distances also. i help people who struggle to run 2 miles, people who struggle to run 6, and people who struggle to run 13. it's hard work no matter where you start out, but if you put your mind to it and dedicate yourself to your goal-you can do it!!
