Chris Runge is a 33-year-old woman who has been running for over 10 years. She has Cystic Fibrosis, a chronic, degenerative lung disease, CF-related diabetes, AND had a double-lung transplant back in 2013. However, she doesn't let these things slow her down! She enjoys working out, watching sci-fi, and listening to and playing music.
Her motto is, "run your own race", and her Christian faith motivates her to stay healthy so she can continue to serve God and other people. Her most recent running goal has been to do a sub-10-minute mile, which she reached in recent days, despite chronic pain. She has finished 5k's, 10k's, and a half marathon, "not even in last place"! With her backpack full of snacks, medicine and emergency supplies, she runs through the suburbs of Chicago, IL.
