I have been a runner for about 12 years. My running career was prompted in my mid 20’s when I found myself with extra pounds and piled up stress and needed some outlet for both. Through the years I have taken on running challenges that range from a marathon, half marathons, triathlons to fun runs. I have made every mistake imaginable related to running, sometimes twice. Some day I would like to try another marathon and venture into the world of ironman distance triathlons.

I juggle a job, two kids, my husband’s crazy work schedule, and great dog. I never seem to have enough time to fit it all in but never stop looking for the day when I will. Regardless of its priority on my schedule, running is important to me. It makes me a little stronger, smarter, saner, and allows me to indulge in chocolate chip cookies more freely.

This blog was born because - like Tom - talking to runners, about runners and with runners is a favorite pastime, second only to actually running.
