Javamom finally talked me into starting a blog....thanks Lisa ;)
I started running at the end of September, I think. My whole purpose was to find an exercise that I enjoyed and would actually do to lose this baby weight from #3 and to shape up. Running seems like a no-brainer since it burns crazy calories and I am all about that, but I have NEVER been a runner! I mean, NEVER! I hated running all the way back to jr. high track..lol! Surprisingly, however, I am LOVING this! I mean, seriously. I can't wait to get out there and run and am constantly trying to go further than I did previously.
Other than just the fact that I am watching those calories burn off, I love the time I get by myself. Being a single mom with three kids, I am not very familiar with time to myself and this is like heaven to me!
I finally ran an entire 5K yesterday, actually did a whole 4 miles in 30:57 minutes, so I'm pretty proud of myself :)

About Me
- Lori
- When I began this blog I was a single mom with three kids. Running started as a way to get back into shape after #3, but since the loss of my youngest it has also evolved into a quest to understand the path my life has chosen for me.
