Erick Eggleton
Why did you start running?
I was looking for an activity to help me lose weight when I came across the book, Born to Run. It inspired me and I've been running ever since.
​
How long have you been running?
2 years.
​
What is your favorite thing about running?
Downhills. Feels like flying.
​
What are your goals?
I don't really have any. I still have some weight to lose, but I run because I enjoy it.
​
What is your favorite race?
I've only been in a few. I guess the Knoxville Marathon. It was fun. Traing for a trail ultra now. I'm falling in love with the trails.
​
What are your current running shoes?
I'm barefoot when I'm on concrete and it's not freezing, but when I wear shoes it's usually my Luna sandals.
​
What would you tell someone who's hesitant to start running?
It's not as hard as you think. Give it a try. Start our short and easy and work your way up.
