About Me

I have "dabbled" with running my whole life but never really committing to it.  When I got engaged in August 2005, I committed to losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle.  Running was not really part of that until December 2006.  My Sister in Law asked me to ran the Disney Half  Marathon with her.  Since I was new to the family and eager to please I said yes.  I had not run more than 3 miles before.  I found a training plan and committed to it.  I was hooked. By the time, I ran the 2008 Disney World Half Marathon, I had already ran several 5ks, a 4 miler, a 5 miler and a half.  I completely caught the running bug.  After the Disney half, I completed several other races of varying distances including another half. 

Around April 2009, I took a hiatus from running to have my wonderful son, L Boogie.  He is the joy our lives and makes parenting a true adventure.  Learning to juggle being a wife and working mother was hard and the hiatus from running was longer than I thought.  I ran a couple race here and there including another half but was not really serious about running.

October 2010, I decided to recommit myself to running and decided to train for my first full marathon in May 2011.
