About Me

Hey there!

Welcome to Run This Town. My name is Lacey and my blog is about fitness, running, experiences I have had, and a few tips I would love to share with you that I've learned along the way. I plan on using this blog to keep me accountable with training in an entertaining way.

By no means am I an elite runner or have a ton of experience more so I use running as a fulfilling hobby. Four years ago I caught "the bug" for running and have enjoyed it since. 

I didn't get into races until 2014 when I ran my first marathon and loved the environment, encouragement, and lifestyle. I was instantly hooked and have been striving to continue to be apart of them since. 

My family are my biggest supporters in my life and especially during training. They'll listen to me complain about shin splints, blisters, and cramps all the while being as encouraging as ever.

I have found running to be one of my best stress relievers during college. Currently I attend Illinois State University as a senior studying Renewable Energy and Marketing. My freshman year being in a dorm really motivated me to get out outside. So I basically just ran around normal, which is exactly as it's name implies, very normal....

This is my wonderful boyfriend Jake who I am currently trying to convince running isn't a form of torture and can be kind of fun. He's been my best friend and inspires me daily.  I swear our mutual love for food is why we're together.
