My New Blog

I am excited to start blogging about my very favorite passion and hobby.  I love working out for several reasons.  I love how I feel after a workout, I want to look fit, it is my escape from all my problems/stresses in life.  I love working out with my hubby and can't wait until my kids are old enough to keep up with us as we cycle and run in the future.

I have always had a passion for running that started when I was very young.  When I was in Elementary school I remember going on early morning walks with my Mom around the neighborhood and I would run ahead and then run back to meet up with her.  I think a lot of my passion comes from just doing something as simple as walking with my mom's in the mornings.  As I got older I found I really loved to go jogging in middle school and high school I would go jogging almost everyday.  I sometimes went with friends, but in all honesty I really enjoying running alone.  I can it my me time.  In high school I played volleyball and loved when our coaches made us go out to the track and run stadiums and sprints!  Sprints are super good for your legs!!  I tried to join track in high school also, but I really didn't like running when I had to run.  Today I enjoy running races of all kinds, marathons, half-marathon (my favorite), 10K (another favorite of mine), 5K, and sprint triathlons.  I also love to road bike, it has just been hard for me to do in the past 2 years due to being pregnant and having a baby.  My road bike partner is my husband and it is hard to just pick up and go when you have a baby so sadly we don't do that as often as we would like, but when we do I just love it.  Luckily my sister enjoys road biking so I have gone with her a few times this year.

I would love for my blog to be a place where people can get fitness inspiration, ask questions, get fun work outs and build confidence about oneself.  I know as women we can be hard on ourselves and our bodies and I hope that I can be helpful to all or any of you who do read my blog.  I am not a fitness professional, I think one day I would like to do that, but right now I am just someone who loves working out, switching up my work outs, trying to eat healthy, and trying to be happy with myself.  Feel free to follow me and comment as you will.
