Up and "running"

I am so excited to be starting this blog. Let me tell you a little about myself.  I am 35 years old and married to a wonderful man!!!  We have been married for 11 years.   As I have said before, if it wasnt for him, I would not be where I am today.    I am also a mom to 4 kids,  2 girls and 2 boys-  9,7,4,2.  Life can get pretty crazy around here. 

Running-  wow,   I LOVE IT.    I f you would of asked that question 5 years ago, I would of given you a totally different answer.  Why?  Because I was not a runner then.  I took up running just 2 1/2 years ago (Feb 2008).  At that point I had never ran a day ( well, unless you count chasing my kids).  But here I am now, Aug 2010, having ran  2 5k , 3 half marathons,  and 1 full marathon.  Not only that- but this year I was chosen to be diary writer for the Chicago Marathon
