Why Gina Runs

Hey everyone! I'm taking time off the run to tell you a little about myself. I started running in middle school, but then stopped running for over ten years. During my time away from running I did not lead a very active lifestyle. It wasn't until my father had a heart attack during my second year in college that I began focusing on my health. Since then I have picked up running again and feel healthier than I have in years. I wanted to participate in this event because I have always been passionate about conservation. On Saturday, I graduated with my BS in Biology, and I thought this would be a great start to a new chapter in my life.
