Starting out

Welcome to my new running blog! I decided to start this to journal my days of running. I won't always be able to run like i do now, but right now i have the health to do it... i don't take that for granted! I love running and while i can i'm going to get out and enjoy it. It is a passion of mine. It makes me happy, it calms my nerves, it helps my stress level, it makes me feel good and yes...i have gotten the runner's "high".

I have days that suck too. Days when 3 miles feels like 10. Days when i'm sluggish and feel like i've never run before. Days when i get mad and stop and walk and verbally say "this sucks" It's all a part of it.

The good days far outweigh the bad and make the bad worth it. When you get that pr all of those bad days kinda fade into the background!

I am hypoglycemic. I struggle with this in my running. I eat a lot of peanut butter! I will blog more about this at other times.

I am a mama to 4, and work 2 part time jobs. It is not easy at all to balance every thing and get to run like i would like to...i will blog about that at times.

So...if you run, if you want to run, or if you just want to read about running joys and frustrations...victories and failures...welcome to my running blog!

  1. I'm your first follower! I like to run (jog) too. I had surgery almost 2 weeks ago and as soon as I get the word from my dr. I will be running again. So far I've just been participating in 5Ks and I want to step it up to a 10K by fall. Maybe you can give me tips and cheer for me! I also want to step up my pace a bit. When I was running fairly regularly, I could still only do a 5K in about 33 minutes. I want to get under 30 minutes. My little Katey (or not so little anymore...she'll be 13 in November) runs too. She is a good runner. She runs 5Ks in about 27 minutes now. She is going to run cross country and track.
