HI, I'm Heather Griffith, and I've always loved to run from day one, but back then I
only ran one mile/day. I never knew I would be capable of running 120 and up to
200 miles/week every week for months consistently! With the help of my high
school and University of Louisville coaches, I have developed a more competitive
streak. However, I still run for the pure enjoyment and experience of it. I became
interested in long distances when I began pushing myself beyond what I had done
before! I find it is important to stretch our own limits so we can actually find what
we're made of! I encourage every runner who enjoys the sport at all to KEEP
REACHING and EXPLORE GREATER POSSIBILITIES because you can do more than
you've already done and possibly more than you think you can!!! Don't just dream
it...get out and do it! Don't just think about it, don't psych yourself out, just do it like
it's natural! Running to me is what gives life to my life; it's what brings joy to my
day more than anything else! What is it for you? Do what makes you most happy,
and start living each day as though it's your last! Life is a beautiful thing! Live it!

TO INSPIRE OTHERS TO GET OUT AND RUN, OR TO INSPIRE OTHERS TO GO
BEYOND WHAT THEY THINK IS POSSIBLE BY FINDING WHAT GOD MAKES
POSSIBLE WHEN WE BELIEVE...THAT IS MY GOAL IN MY TRAINING AND IN MY
RUNNING THE 350-MILE CONTINUOUS RUN. I FIND THAT IF IT WEREN'T FOR GOD,
AND FOR GOD BLESSING ME WITH CERTAIN PEOPLE IN MY LIFE, I WOULDN'T BE
ABLE TO GET THROUGH THE RUNS EACH DAY. I WISH THAT PEOPLE AROUND THE
WORLD MAY COME TO KNOW GOD THROUGH MY RUNNING. THAT PEOPLE WILL
SEE GOD LIVING IN ME, BECAUSE HE IS THE REASON I AM WHO I AM. I RUN FOR
HIM AND I RUN FOR OTHERS, BUT I HOPE NEVER TO RUN SIMPLY FOR MYSELF.
WHEN DOING SOMETHING GOOD FOR OTHERS, WE ARE ACTUALLY GLORIFYING
GOD IN THE SAME (MATT 25:40). BY GLORIFYING GOD IN EACH AND EVERY WAY
POSSIBLE THROUGH WHAT I AM MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT (RUNNING), GOD
WILL LIFT ME UP...I WILL "FLY ON WINGS LIKE EAGLES, RUN AND NOT GROW
WEARY, WALK AND NOT BE FAINT" (ISAIAH 40:31)!
