| Introduction | ----I can honestly say that I am happy where I am today and very,very content to be in the place that I am in right now. This is probably the happiest I have been in years. I am a divorced mother of two, and I am first and foremost a mother to my two beautiful daughters. Secondly, I am a runner (www.facebook.com/lifeinthedayofarunner)with the objective of running the American River 50, the Western 100 and maybe someday a Half Ironman and if I'm still kickin' then maybe someday a full Ironman. Thirdly, I am an English teacher. I love my job and get a lot of satisfaction from what I do. I have an amazing job teaching high school English and in the evenings, teaching English at the local Community College. Both are equally challenging and inspiring and I receive a lot of satisfaction from both. Lastly, I am a warrior, waging a war against the invisible enemy that attempts to destroy my body with rheumatoid arthritis. In my spare time(I know... there isn't much left), I run and train for races by logging miles in town or by going up to the hills and training there. I am a survivor... |
| Interests | I love just about anything that has to do with the outdoors: running, hiking, swimming (in warm water - preferably Hawaii or South America), cycling and gardening. I also love the beach (the warm ones of course!). Not to be underestimated however, are quiet evenings at home watching a suspenseful movie or sitcom. I love doing these things with my children. Reading is also a passion of mine although with work, my graduate program and my running schedule, I find little time for pleasure reading. |
