\"runner\"<\/a>

16-year old Ashley<\/p><\/div>\n

I became a runner in high school. My dad came up with the bright idea. He wanted me to join the cross country team to condition for football (aka soccer\u2014for the Americans out there). Football tryouts came-and-went that year, and I could not trade in my sneakers for cleats. I was addicted to the self-reflecting, meditation feeling long-distance running gave me. That feeling where your legs are pushing forward toward the destination while your mind is focused on the steady pace of your breath. It is you against yourself. I was forever hooked \u2014thanks\u00a0Dad!<\/p>\n

Today, wherever I travel I pack my running shoes. I use running<\/strong> as a means of exploring a new city, staying in shape (without having to pay for a gym membership), or meeting like-minded runners.\u00a0As soon as I moved to Barcelona<\/strong>, I took to the internet to find running groups<\/strong> and upcoming 2016 running events<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
