Evolution of a Runner

As runners we are constantly molding our bodies to become the most efficient means of travel they can be. It is fun to look back to where we started, where we went, and where we've come to. With so many photos at my dispense I thought it would be fun to compile a visual of my personal evolution as a runner going back as far as I could find through now.

I think this post will get edited as I find time to dig through old photos and run new races. I know I have a few good college ones and possibly some middle school photos to add. But in the meantime this was a fun exercise for me and a reminder of all the work that has gone into becoming the best runner I can be.
