Amy Koughan is a professional photographer who lives and works in Los
Angeles, California. She devotes a lot of time to her work, and says
that as a freelancer she doesn’t always know when her next job is going
to come along. Because of that, she says that she is always ready to
drop everything for work, if something comes along unexpectedly.
She
is also a wife and the mother of a young boy, and says that her family
takes up a lot of her time. But by budgeting her time carefully she is
able to devote a lot of time to keeping in shape. Her favorite forms of
exercising are riding a bike and running, both of them for long
distances. She also enjoys swimming.
For many distance runners there comes a time where they cross an invisible line and transition from grudgingly taking those long runs, to loving them and even looking forward to them. “There was this point where my runs became enjoyable,” she recalls. “It wasn’t a matter of looking forward to the ‘alone time.’ It was a matter of actually looking forward to the run itself, as agonizing as they can be sometimes.”
A typical run for her is between ten and twelve miles. Some of her friends are mystified that she could enjoy those long runs as much as she does, but Amy Koughan says there is nothing mysterious about it. Running makes her feel healthy, and after she completes a long run she says that she feels exhilarated, in large part because she just did something that is improving her health.
