Let me just start by saying that I have never considered blogging up until now. A few of my co-workers have been doing it and it sounded interesting. I have always loved to write and maybe this will be a good outlet for me....who knows?

I'll begin my blog by telling you a little about myself. I am an almost 36yr. old (4 MORE DAYS TILL MY BIRTHDAY!!!! Yes...I like celebrating my birthday). I love to run and bike competitively and have set some personal records in the past, but my biggest accomplishment will always be my two children, Caleb and Reis. They have brought so much love and laughter into my life, nothing will ever compare. As a young adult I used to say that I never wanted children because of the way the world is but they were obviously meant to be and I couldn't imagine life without them. Just this morning my daughter (10) had my son and I laughing so hard talking about how environmentally aware she is by saying her farts are "green". Reduce, reuse, recycle she says! My sweet little girl......NOT!

That having been said. I will use this blog to keep myself motivated with my training, share good memories of my children and hopefully, for the very few people that will be interested in reading this, get a good laugh!!!

Just remember... when life gives you lemons, cut them in half, squeeze the juice on your hair and lay in the sun. This will save you $90 in highlights! Just sayin.....
