Introduction	I can remember the exact moment it happened - the moment I decided to dig my old running shoes out of my closet. May 17, 2010. I was lying on the couch, sick as a dog with a chest cold when the coughing started. I coughed so hard I could feel every fat cell on my body shake. It was at that moment I decided to run, and I haven't looked back. My first run was less than a quarter mile - pathetic! I thought for sure I was in better shape than that! I forced myself to sign up for a 5K, and within three weeks, I ran it - without stopping! Granted, it took me 37 minutes, but I finished. And I've been addicted to the finish ever since. I run a lot farther now than that first quarter mile. Most nights, it's 5-6 miles, but I'm slowly working my way up. On top of all the running, I have a two year old son, Aiden, who I adore - I never knew I was capable of loving another human being so much. I'm also planning an Oct 2011 wedding, so there's A LOT going on in my world!! I hope you enjoy my ramblings about running... and life!!
