After my most recent half- The Gusher in Beaumont, TX- 3/10/12
I've been an inconsistent blogger for over five years now. In those five years, I have touched on just about every subject under the sun. I've laid myself bare for the entire world to see if they wish. I feel like the time for that kind of blogging has gone. The older I get (not that old...35!) the more private I want my life to be.
That said, I've recently rediscovered my love of running and races and all that entails. That is what this blog will be about. I can't guarantee that I won't chase rabbits or go off on tangents. But I can promise that I will spend the majority of my time here writing about health and fitness, running and races. You can be sure of that.
So I guess I should start with a little runner's bio...
I'm a single mom runner. I am a turtle...slow is my game. And I'm okay with that. I still call myself a runner. I run more than I walk, so I've decided that makes me a runner. I've really had to slap myself in the face lately for comparing myself to others. I only want to measure my progress against myself. In spite of all that, I'm finding that I am way more competitive than I thought I was. Not necessarily with others, but with myself. I find that I want to try to best myself every time I run.
I'm also an interval runner. I do run/walk intervals Galloway style. Right now I'm settled into a 2 minute run/1 minute walk ratio. It seems to work well for me.
I love to run races, especially those that give me medals. I've run/walked five half marathons. I'm registered for my sixth on May 6th!
