Episode Synopsis "A conversation with Brenna Cohoon"
My name is Abby Lopez and I am a junior from Argo Community HS and run XC and track there. I started running almost 2 years ago and I really love running. I started running to get in shape for basketball, so I decided to go out for the XC team in the fall of 2017. and I truly fell in the love with the sport ever since the first day of practice. I ran really high mileage in the summer of 2017 because I thought that was what I needed to take my basketball career to the next level and plus I was really enjoying running, and plus I didn’t know what I was really doing, I was new to running. During that summer, when I was running I had this joy that basketball never gave me, I felt so free when I was running, as if I was supposed to be a runner all along. And sure enough, God has a plan for me in running, and I'm absolutely enjoying running, long story short, I decided that fall of 2017 that I would become a full time runner and stop playing basketball so that I can focus fully on running. this is the best decision I've ever made and am so grateful to where God has brought me. I have decided to start this podcast because I am very interested in the running community and having conversations about running. This podcast I hope can serve you as listening to an engaging conversations, answer some of your questions, or even learn more about running, and learn from inspiring people on how to run better from a physical and mental standpoint. In this episode- I am talking to a friend of mine, Brenna Cohoon. Brenna is an amazing writer and a fast runner. Brenna goes to Downers Grove South High School and writes a blog every Wednesday for ILXCTF.com. Her writing is truly inspiring and engaging. We talk about her how she started running, writing, and what inspires her to do both every day. We also talk about shoes, the pro running scene, and more!
