About Me

I am a stay at home mom to 4 adorable, albeit a little crazy, children. I have jumped in to my role as wife and mother with my whole heart and soul. Besides being a mom I have a great passion for the sport of running, this is important to know about me, because everything in life can be compared to running and the lessons learned through that great sport. Running has been my escape since the first day I laced up those purple payless clearance running shoes and tried my hand (or feet) at this racing thing. Running became a part of Me. It became who I was. I as a runner. I loved the training and the grind of a good hard workout. But mostly I loved the sense of accomplishment felt at the end of a brutal race when I knew I had given it my all and left it all on the track. When I could look back and realize all the hard work had been worth it. After my collegiate running career came to a close I jumped into the next brutal, but beautiful race of my life. Motherhood. Motherhood is hard work and grind. The day to day life of motherhood is full of lots of whining, lots of screaming, lots of waking up in the middle of the night, with a sick child or a nursing baby. Lots of "I'm hungries" and "That is mine," and "She hit me." But as with running, Motherhood also has the pay offs of knowing that there is a reason why you go through the work and the grind. There is great reward in being a mom that is far greater then the All American medals sitting in a box at the foot of my bed hidden deep in her cedar chest. Motherhood is full of many sweet "I yove you mama" and big slobbery kisses on the cheek or a great big grin peeking over your bed staring at you first thing in the morning (even if it is 5:15 am). Motherhood is full of rewards. Sometimes it is a small thing. Like the accomplishment your son feels when he is able to push a straw through the hole in a capri sun for the first time, after failing many times. And sometimes it is the big things. When you realize your children are learning from all that you teach them. That is when you can smile and realize you left it all in the home.
