Been too long

Wow! It's been a long time since I've been here. So much has happened and I've grown in many ways. So as I try to get back into blogging, I'd like to use this post to play catch up, and share some thoughts in general. That said, here we go!

Where to start, where to start... well, guess it makes sense to start with my running. 2016 has been a wonderful year so far. I've run many virtual and live races, taken part in some challenges, ran my first (and 2nd and 3rd and 4th!) live half marathon since reclaiming my life, and in doing that qualified for Half Fanatics!! I placed in one of the races I entered, earned lots of bling, and am currently on runstreak day 687. Running has truly been a blessing, and I look forward to sharing more.

My thoughts on blogging... When I started this blog, the optimist in me had grand visions of becoming this huge, popular, high volume blogger. I think in my mind I want to be this grand motivator with a huge following and all that stuff. Silly? Maybe, but goals are good. After giving it some thought, however, I've come to realize that I really want to have a place to chronicle my journey. (I know I've said this before, I'm just trying to get it through to ME, lol) I'm not a trainer. I'm not a dietitian. I'm not an expert. Im just a regular girl with a family and a full time job that loves running and trying to find ways to better herself. So this will be a place to write out all those thoughts that probably bore my non-running friends and family but they are kind enough to listen to. If I get some readership, some regular readers, some comments, that's AWESOME! But when it comes down to it, this is my blog, my page, my thoughts, for my fun and expression, and I welcome you all to read and follow me and share in my journey.

Ok, weight loss....I'm STUCK! LOL :/ One of my hopes in revitalizing my blog is to hopefully get my butt back in gear with my nutrition and cross training to jump start some changes in my body. I guess when it comes down to it, I'm not worried about weight loss as much as fat loss. I hope this will give me some accountability and I'm hoping that chatting about it more will keep me doing more.

Well, that's all I can think of for right now. I mean, there's other stuff rattling around my head, but I think it's stuff for other posts. I'm really just hoping to have fun with writing again and share snippets of my daily life to hopefully spark, or fan the flames of even just one person's motivation to reach their goals. With that, I'm off for the evening. Live happy and run lots <3
