About Me

Hi, I'm Andrea. I'm in the process of writing an about me page, but until I get that done here's my life in a nutshell...


2006

I met him.

2007

I married him. 

2008

I graduated from BYU with a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science.

2009

We had him.

2010

We moved to Texas.

2011

I started this blog.

(The reason why some posts date farther back than 2011 is because I've had a family blog for several years that I occasionally wrote about running on. I copied those posts to this blog.)

Why did I start this blog?
See the Why I Blog page.

Running is a huge part of who I am. Without it I wouldn't know the amazing people that I know, I wouldn't have the passion for goal-setting that I do, and I wouldn't have the energy for my rambunctious toddler that I have. I chose the name Run. Learn. Repeat because that's exactly what I do.  

I've learned that whether it's a success or a failure, the only thing you can do is learn from it once it's over. I love this quote by Dean Karnazes, "For me, as for so many other runners, there really are no finish lines. Runs end; running doesn't."

Here are a few more of my favorite running quotes...

"If you want to become the best runner you can be, start now. Don't spend the rest of your life wondering if you can do it." 

-Priscilla Welch

"I run because it's so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can't. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you're capable of so much more than you thought." 

-Arthur Blank

"Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself." 

-William Faulkner

"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement." 

-Steve Prefontaine
