Megan on why she runs:

I have been running as long as I can remember. My parents used to have to let me out of the baby jogger when they ran because I kept yelling "I Run, I Run!". Over the years I've been in this sport, the same mentality remains. Running has brought me some of the greatest joys in my life as well as some of the most testing struggles. It's something that I've always been able to rely on as a source of bravery, peace, and strength. To me, it feels a great deal like life and the depth of the human spirit.

When I run, it gives me a peace of mind. It tests my mental and physical limits, and that's the part of the sport that a lot of people don't see behind the scenes. There's countless hours of work put into the hopes you accomplish your goals/dreams. Every time I run it's an opportunity, and to me, that's pretty exciting stuff.”
