Kicking It Higher Into Gear

Does that title even make sense?! 

I'm not sure, but it's what my mantra is for the season.

Yep it's the Holidays, which means lots of food, indulging in wine, 

& my personal favorite... Fudge! (I'm looking at you Kellie!)

The holidays also means kicking my ass into gear and running more than ever.

I've said it a hundred times on this blog, 

I AM A RUNNER.

For years I thought runners were crazy. 

It's tough on your knees (I almost blew my left knee out this past Spring!) 

It hurts like hell,

& you never see runners smiling,

so why become a runner?

Because it's freakin awesome!

March 1st will be my 2 year mark for running.

And consistently! (That's the key!!)

I run because lez be honest...

I love food, I love wine, & I refuse to change that.

So I run.

The words above describe me to a T!

Many of you know I have pretty bad asthma, combined with knee, ankle, & shin problems, 

so I get asked why the heck I'm still running.

Because it's life to me now. 

Because I love getting out there and kicking my old running record. 

I love when it's absolutely freezing, but I bundle up and get out there anyway.

Running is honestly the reason I love life so much. 

It makes you feel alive.

So from now on, I will be running further than ever before.

And loving every minute!
