My First Blog

Well, here it is. My first blog post for my running blog. Why am I here? Well, I have been thinking about this for some time. Aside from my husband and kids and my faith in God my true love is running. I am not going to lie, I have only been a serious runner for 8 months now. I am currently training for my first half marathon in January. After that I plan on running another half marathon in March and possibly the 7 mile bridge run in April that goes over the causeway to the Florda Keys. Prior to this I was pregnant with my son and prior to that I only ran a few 5k's and maybe 6 miles per week on a good week. So needless to say I am not a pro...yet. I am learning as I go and that is why I am starting this. I want to share my experiences with other beginner runners, be a resource and share what has and has not worked for me. I am excited to do this. I am constantly thinking about my running all throughout the day. What can I do better? How did my body feel today during my run? How is my running affecting my mental and, let's face it, physical health.

I know there are women out there who want to start running and are not sure how to start. The thought of running long distances can be overwhelming and exhausting. So if you are a new mom and want to start running to get your body back, or maybe you aren't a new mom and want to start running to train for your first race, please join and read my blog. I will update this weekly or more to talk about my recommendations on products, things to try, and injuries. Please note that I am not in the medical profession and injury related topics are of my own opinion based on what research I have done and what has worked for me.
