It was just before noon on Christmas Eve and Santa along with one of his reindeer were standing in front of a gas station. (Seriously people, I can’t make this up.) When asked, “Do you want to get your picture taken?” I replied, “Um, yes.” In hindsight I should have been more emphatic because really, when you have the opportunity to have your photo taken with Santa, a reindeer (or caribou as the case may be) in front of a gas station in the Village of Hamburg, you take it. So go ahead, embrace your inner child this weekend regardless of your religious, spiritual, holiday or commercial beliefs. You won’t regret it.

A sportswriter turned triathlete and distance runner, Amy Moritz became an adult-onset athlete in her 30s. While in love with the sport and all it brought her, she was nagged by a lingering question: Was she really an athlete? Through this memoir, Amy describes her own journey to defining herself as an athlete and explores why it can be so challenging for women, of all abilities, to do the same. You can buy the book (paperback or Kindle versions) on Amazon.
I'm Amy Moritz -- a sportswriter who fell into being an endurance athlete. Originally a way to get and stay healthy, I've found running (and cycling and swimming) the way in which I make sense of the world. It's helped me discover people and places both in my native 716 (a.k.a. Western New York) and around the world. Follow along with my journey and share your own. Because we all have the ability to create our own story.
