| HIST | Is the article that follows about this Megan Floyd? If not then disregard.jkh of Sumter, South Carolina Saturday Snapshot: April 20, 2013: Megan Floyd, runner Megan Floyd, 28, stands in the midst of runners in the 2013 Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston on April 6. Floyd has committed to running every day this year. Megan Floyd, 28, has a specific goal this year: to run every day for 365 days. With more than 100 days behind her, the occupational therapist has run said she has hit her stride toward reaching that goal. Each day, Floyd posts pictures to Facebook of her daily run to keep her accountable. Floyd most recently completed a 6.2-mile run in the annual Cooper Bridge Run on April 6 and then completed a 100-mile bicycle ride the next day. Why did you start running every day? I started competing in triathlons, and I knew my weakest link was running. It was kind of a joke at first, but then day one happened and I said, "If I'm going to do this then I need to do it." What are the worst conditions you've had to run in so far? It's snowed and rained really hard. I've run in sleet and ice. Running in the rain is my favorite part. There is something so cleansing about the rain. I can run and enjoy it. It's like it's just me and the rain. What keeps you motivated to accomplish your goal? You have to make up your mind to do something. Then you start to find out what works for you. When I started out, I ran in the morning but with work and everything else I do, I found out it was better for me to run in the evenings. You just have to keep with it and adapt. It's about finding a way for it to work. There are so many support groups that are willing to help you reach your goal. Where is your favorite place to run? I like to run in places that have emotional connections for me, like my old school, the park that my granddaddy built or my grandmother's house. I really like running the trail around the YMCA. One night I put on a Clemson hat and ran around the University of South Carolina Sumter. There was one time, on my grandmother's birthday, where I fell asleep after a get-together with my family. It was 11:30 p.m. and I woke up in a panic. Luckily, we found some clothes and my grandmother's old sneakers, and I ran two miles that night, wearing my grandmother's knee highs as socks. How will it feel on Dec. 31 when you reach your goal? I know I'll be different, and I know because of this, I'll be a better person. I'm really looking forward to it, but it will be sad. I can tell you I will be a stronger runner. I think it will make me realize that a lot of the goals I have right now are achievable and that I'll need to set bigger goals. - Jamie H.
