The El Paso Marathon has been one of El Paso’s biggest events for the past 17 years, as it is a qualifier for major U.S. and World Marathons, including the Boston Marathon, the New York Marathon and the London Marathon.
Some veteran runners take on intense training plans rather than taking workouts one day at a time, but becoming a runner is no easy feat. I began my training in the summer of 2016, for the cross- country team at Cathedral High School.
My best memories from high school came from my cross-country team, who pushed me harder than I thought I could go.
