Why I started a blog

Hey I'm Aspen!!! I started this blog to talk about running, because I love to run!! I don't think I have ever enjoyed something more in my life! Running is my complete passion. I run almost every day at a track club called Cool Runnings. The second picture down on the Cool Runnings website is me with my friend Harrison after we both got first in the district cross country meet. The top picture is pretty much the whole team including some of the home school kids that come to the track club. This track team is coached by Coach Art. He is such an amazing guy with so much knowledge. He has helped me so much with my running! I am so lucky to have him as a coach. Some days are harder than others but in the end I know that every day has helped get me where I am today which is at a 6.02 mile hoping to break 6 minutes! I know with the help from Coach Art and my Dad I will get there one day. My Dad is also an amazing man, he runs marathons! He is so talented, he has taught me so much in life! He is part of the reason I got into running! :) I thank God every day that I have these two great guys in my life to help me along the way!!
