After struggling with addiction, Doug’s life started looking up when he replaced alcohol with running. Now, Doug runs for his family, especially his daughters, and to be the best version of himself. “The running community is kind and supportive. I used to feel like such a burden, but now I’ve realized I’m a role model for others, especially my children, and anything is possible. I see a wonderful future for myself and my family. I want to live and I want to experience the beauty of life.” Doug (doug99trent) is our #ReasonsWeRun winner for the month of October. Thanks to Doug for sharing his story of why he runs and what keeps him going. We all have our reasons, what’s yours?
