Runner Profile: Kelsey Murphy

Kelsey Murphy
Trooper, Pa.

Years running: 3 years off and on

Favorite kicks: Brooks

Pre-race ritual: The Broad Street Run will actually be my second race – and I haven't done the first one yet! I imagine I will probably listen to some good music to pump me up.

Pre-race snack: I haven't figured this one out yet either!

Tips for new runners: The only person you are in competition with is yourself. Strive to do better than you did yesterday and don't compare yourself to others.

Why she runs: Running is something that I do for myself to stay physically and mentally healthy. As a busy mother, wife, student, employee, friend, daughter, etc., it's a great way to take a break from life and clear my mind.
