Amanda (Winslow) Rego was a 7-time All-American runner at Florida State University, including an NCAA runner-up finish in the 2013 indoor mile. She then went on to run professionally, with a 1 mile personal best of 4:26. She is now a coach at Metro State Denver University in Colorado, where she is living a passion that she had since early in her running career.
Amanda's story is a wonderful example of how centering your life on Christ can transform how you view running or your sport into a way to glorify God and grow in his likeness. Amanda shares how she came to center her running and life on Christ, and how experiencing God's love is more valuable than anything you can achieve on the cross country course or the track. She shares how finding purpose in running or your sport gives you the freedom to passionately pursue your goals without the emotional risk of letting others down and without feeling guilty about how much you invest in your sport.
