Blyss Champion ~ Meet Jackie
Running is keeping me sane, and I’ve learned that if I don’t run I’m pretty grumpy. Running has showed me that I can have a goal and, if I work at it, I can achieve anything!
2018 Blyss Running Champions
I wanted to say a big "thank you" to all the fabulous ladies who took the time to share their stories with us in 2018. You all are truly inspiring!
Blyss Champion ~ Meet Mindy
Now, I run for sanity, peace of mind, fun, friendship time and to push myself to the oddest odds. When I lost my father to cancer in 2015, I swore I'd never let my health go by the way-side again, so I've been committed to doing things that scare the heeby-jeebies out of me.
Blyss Champion ~ Meet Judith
But, somewhere in my forties, things really kind of fell apart for me. I was only sleeping a few hours a night, eating junk food, and not exercising regularly. In my late forties I was the heaviest I had ever been, and my blood work only echoed what leading this lifestyle would result in; I had developed metabolic syndrome.
Blyss Champion ~ Meet Heidi
I have learned how to stop comparing myself to others. 13.1 miles is 13.1 miles regardless of how fast you run it. I’ve learned I’m a heck of a lot stronger than I thought I was.
Blyss Champion ~ Meet Shelley
Running is my zen time. Although I love running with people, I also love running by myself. It gives me time to contemplate all that is good, bad, and/or troublesome in my life.
Blyss Champion ~ Meet Rebecca
Most importantly, while I already knew this, at every race I realize again and again that everyone has a story. Mirna Valerio, who is a motivational speaker for runners (and an amazing athlete!), asked the audience during a recent lecture “What is your WHY?” The truth is-every one of us has a WHY--- we just need to own it.
Blyss Running Champion ~ Meet Lisa
"I have found something deep inside of me that I didn’t know was there, a love for training and competing. Not to mention, I learned that I give my own children and grandchildren inspiration to be active which means the world to me".
Blyss Running Champion ~ Meet Nina
...running has taught me that mental strength is super important to have a good and balanced life in general. I’m always thankful that I can breath hard and keep moving forward regardless of what is happening in my life or around me. I enjoy feeling tired and sore from good runs as much as I do feeling strong from them.
Gasparilla Distance Classic 2018
As always, I am inspired and in awe of all the different people I meet. I love to hear what you are doing and what it is you need in your running apparel. Blyss Running is a very small business and I do take everything you say to heart.
Blyss Running Champion ~ Meet Leah
I joined a Couch to 5k at a local running store, with the intention of being in the walker group. Fortunately, I was misplaced into a running group, and at 38 1/2 I officially became a runner. Up until this time I never considered running an option.
Blyss Running Champion ~ Meet Liz K.
"I don't have a time limit, a desire to compete against others and I don’t try to keep up with others because running is my own pace, place of peace & where I can test my own limits to see what I’m capable of in each race I do. I call it the 3Ps of me!”
