Life before running was tennis tennis tennis and more tennis. I played almost everyday. I played on at least 4 teams. My friends were mostly tennis players.
USTA 2.5 team 2002
USTA 3.0 team 2010
In 2008, 2 of my tennis friends introduced me to running through the No Boundaries program. Ever since, I’m been obsessed with running.
Slowly, my tennis time has decreased and my running time increased.
Now I play tennis only once or twice a week. I play on one team.
I run 4 time a week. I run in at least 15 races per year. I have even run a Half Marathon. When I go into a sports store, I leave with running clothes and running shoes instead of tennis clothes. I now have running friends.
I don’t keep up my tennis blog but post almost daily in this blog.
So tonite was the kick off dinner for the USTA season. I sat with all my friends and they talked about the upcoming season & how we hope to win it all.
Me? I thought about my run tomorrow morning and my next half marathon.
Happy Running! Anyone conflicted about running?
My First 5K and More... 
You are singing my song, girl! I go through phases where I back off tennis and do other things. I never quit tennis altogether but it becomes more of a once a week thing instead of 5 times a week thing. Then I realize one day that I miss it and start adding it back in. Maybe it is that I see my friend’s games getting better and better while I am diversifying with running. Who knows. I struggle with it. I love both things but it is so hard to find time to do it all.

Me too. When my friends are getting better, I want to play more. But I need to run consistently….
