Of course I would actually have time to sit at
the computer and blog on the 2nd day of May to find a pretty great little blog
challenge…
So, with that being said, I think I will start
today, and play a little catch up… shall we?
Day
1, Wednesday: The story of your life in 250 words or less
I was born in a city that my parents and
grandparents have always lived in. I had a head full of brown hair until my
Nanny wished it all away. Since then, I have had white blonde hair. I have
always been the child that is constantly smiling. I attended the SAME school
from grade K-12. I still have some of the same friends that were in my
Kindergarten class! In high school I was pretty active in sports and LIVED at
the ball park. I think I’ve worked in a concession stand since I was old enough
to give out correct change. (Very young friends!) I worked my way through
college, and ended up finally graduating from Augusta State University. Before
graduation, I married the GREATEST man on the planet, and he actually grew up a
few miles from my parent’s house. After graduation we moved to a small southern
town so he could live his dream of coaching. Now I am living my dream of
teaching, being a coach’s wife, and a mommy to the most handsome Weimaraner in
the state. I have had MANY friends in my life. Now that I am older I am meeting
some of the greatest friends I have ever known. My life is simply amazing
because I refuse to let it be anything else!
Day 2, Thursday: Educate us on something you know a lot
about or are good at.
I may not KNOW a lot about running… but I KNOW a
lot about why I run, and what works for me. Since this is my current obsession,
I think it would be a perfect time to post. Also, I have my first half of 2013
this weekend. BAM… gotta know a lil something then right?!
Why did I start running? Well, really, walking
just doesn’t keep me in the shape that I know I need. I’ve never been a real “runner.”
Even when in high school. Actually, I just played sports all year. I also hated
when the coach made us run. I was usually the one on the back. Probably
complaining. With that being said, now that I am an adult… I am not doing
nearly as much exercising as I did then. So, I decided to start running. I may
or may not have gotten the idea from my girl Danielle (what doesn’t come from
Danielle, right?!) and she is a great runner that has completed some full
marathons. She was my true inspiration. As well as my favorite pants not
looking too hot. I began running like .1 mile and walking lots too. Then one
day I just decided I would run til I was tired, then stop and walk. Then when I
felt better I would jog again. So, at this point in my life, I am running about
13 miles at a time without stopping. People ask me to write them a running
plan. I am not that great at it at all! Actually, you are the best running
plan. Just do what you can, then push yourself a little farther. It will all
come into place. I DID however quickly learn that I had to “Eat to work out. Not work out to eat!” I have spent MONTHS
on figuring out what my body NEEDS to run. It does NOT need junk food. It DOES
need lots of water and a good amount of carbs.
Now running is something I am VERY VERY
passionate about. Why not?! It keeps me in shape, keeps me lookin’ smokin’ hot
for coach, lol (BTW: Once a lady asked me why I ran. I said, “To look smokin’ hot
for my husband!” She didn’t like that comment too much! Humph!) and it has
become such a great release. I am actually trying to convince myself that I am
a morning runner. I LOVE the energy it gives me all day at work and when I get
home, I am home! LOVE IT!
If you are thinking about running… JUST DO IT!
Love love,
C^2
