Hi, my name is Kenny Williams,The Runner Guy. I have been running (as of November 10th, 2006) for nine years. Running for me has evolved over the years into a lifestyle rather than just an exercise. I found out early on that for some reason I did not like the 'shorter' distances but enjoyed the mind cleansing effects of runs over an hour or more. I have many 10k's and 5k's to my credit but I am most happy with the 5 completed marathons over the last 6 years, but more importantly with the many many friends I have made because of running. I rarely go anywhere I don't see another 'runner friend' that I know....I like that. I am thankful to have had Joyce Hodges-Hite and Jim Hite as my coaches/trainers/advisors/landlords but mostly my friends. They are,,, as someone once said ..."friends worth having"............. ANYWAY I am now 50 years old and never thought I would ever stick to this 'running thing' this long, but I am living proof that the health benefits alone are worth all the effort not to mention the really great folks you meet along the journey (if you ever get a chance.... run with Ray Miller) Running for me is a constant learning experience. I still find it exciting to run.....to feel the rush after you have been running for nearly an hour then have you body relax and you say to youself.....ok.... NOW.... lets run. To be able to get up early, get your miles in before work then enjoy the many good effects it has on you for the rest of the day. So this is me .... Kenny Williams, The Runner Guy...and hey..sometime if you find you have a extra hour to spare come join me....on the |
