I have been so excited to start my own blog! I have to admit, the ladies over on the 13 in
2013 have inspired me to start one of my own, as I’ve really enjoyed reading
all of theirs. So…. here we go!
I am a 37 year old, attached mom of one super cool 7 year
old. The main reason I wanted to start
to blog is to share my love of running with others. Over the years, I have been told that I have
inspired many to start running, and for that I am flattered. I like to tell others that if I can do it,
anyone can!
I have been a nurse for 17 years and am currently in a
Master’s degree program to become a Nurse Practitioner.
I have been a “runner” for about 4 years. I used to hate running. I mean HATE it! After having my son and going through a lot
of personal stress, I soon found it to be my reprieve, my *thing*, the place
where I could be alone with my thoughts and it fast became my obsession
favorite spare time filler. I soon found
myself going from running a local 5k to wanting to run a marathon. The only
one I wanted to run was the NYC Marathon.
Then I would be done with that.
The lottery goddesses seemed to love me.
I got in on my first try (and then my second a year later). The experience was not only once, but TWICE in a lifetime and really
solidified my love with the long distance run.
I have gone from the back of the pack/bring up the rear runner to a
middle of the pack and getting a little faster runner. Since that “one” marathon I wanted to do, I
have done 5 more and just finished my 12th on Sunday (which I will
recap in my next post.)
This year I committed myself to running 13, 13.1’s in
2013. It will end up being more like 15,
but oh well! Worse things have
happened. 13.1 is really my sweet spot,
my favorite distance.
I have some BIG goals for myself in the next few years and
want to share them. I figured a blog
would be a great premise to do so! I
love the camaraderie and support of fellow runners!
