Running Inspiration

Training

We just welcomed 6 new runners to the Oiselle team! I love putting up the new profiles online because they are so inspiring. They answer questions like why do you run? Do you have a quote that inspires your running? What's your favorite post-race treat? Here's a few answers (quotes) below to inspire your running.
