Welcome!

Hello and Welcome!

Hi there! Thanks for finding me. Welcome to just what the world needs, another blog about some housewife that runs. Yahoo! Que the applause.

Anyway, the page is a work in progress as you can see. I'm getting there, slow but steady.

Let me tell you a bit about me. I started running on Mother's Day, 2012. A couple of girl friends had asked if I wanted to run a 5k race with them. Thinking I was in decent shape I agreed, no problems. I mean, I did Jazzercise 3-4 times a week, how hard could it be? Well, turns out, Jazzercise and running are not the same. It took us 45+ minutes to complete that 5k. The running club that put on the race, Kansas City Express, was offering a summer long training program to help new runners complete a 10k or half marathon that fall. You met on Saturday mornings, ran, had some coffee, and went home. After talking to my husband about it, and getting him to agree to watch our two boys while I was gone, I signed up for the 10k plan.

And then I signed up for a few more 5ks and a 4 miler. By the time that 10k rolled around, I'd already signed up for a couple of half marathons, a 10 miler, a 15k, and a bunch more 5ks. I was hooked.

Since then, I've run 33 half marathons, become a Half Fanatic (member 4222), become a Pacer with the SmartPacing team here in Kansas City, am the social director of Kansas City Express, and still run almost every weekend with friends and enjoy coffee afterwards.

I like that I am keeping myself active and healthy. I like to surround myself with people that also have those same goals. I've kept up the Jazzercise, but also added in CrossFit and Boot Camp. I've kind of turned into a gym-junkie.

Anyway, thank for stopping by. Check back in often. Stay connected with me via Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
