I had a choice the day I became sober.” - Charlie Engle You are a true inspiration Charlie Engle!

There is a perception of isolation and loneliness with endurance sports. Competing in marathon and triathlons seems a wholly individual endeavor to an outsider. The reality of endurance racing is success that requires surrounding yourself with a solid team. Keep reading for more information on why running is more of a team sport than people think. https://bit.ly/2OlZnTJ #runchat #runninggoals #runnersofinstagram #runninglifestyle
