Don't act like you are not excited!!
So after a year of discovering bloglovin and following some of my favorite bloggers, I have decided that it is time for me to try it out myself!
All you skinny, pretty little runners live in California so its time for the blog world to get a little
No this place is not exciting at all. I live in a very depressed area of the mid-west. Our mall is a hall way. The average household income is around $33,000. There are more bars than people. We just got a Chipotle. Literally.
I am 26 years old, currently work for an agency that provides social and residential services for adults with cognitive and developmental disabilities. Three years ago I graduated from Youngstown State University where I played three years of college basketball on a full ride scholarship. Before that, I played for two years at The University of Southern Mississippi. I graduated from YSU with a degree in accounting and immediately started working for my current employer. Going from being a college athlete straight to a desk job was a really big struggle for me. I found no purpose in my workouts and I was miserable sitting behind a calculator all day. Naturally, I became frustrated and discouraged. I saw my purpose as an athlete diminishing and I began to put on weight. About a year ago, I started running just to try my hand at it and I naturally became hooked with the running phenomenon. I have run a few halves but no fulls. And of course the occasional Turkey trots. This year my focus is completing PR's whereas last year was just finishing.
I'm not gonna lie. I have become a bit disinterested in running lately. I love the way I feel after I have completed a run but lately it has been tough for me to lace up my shoes for anything over 5 miles. I have been doing a lot of Body pump, spin classes and boot camps lately. I am a VERY big baby when it comes to running in the cold and snow but I cannot STAND the treadmill (Literally. I have balance issues. If I don't stare straight ahead, I fall off!)
I am hoping that by posting my goals, expectations, workouts, etc. that I will be a little bit more motivated!
OK this is getting a little long and not very enticing to a new audience!
I think people enjoy reading lists much (grammar?) better. SO QUICK! Here at ten little fun facts about myself!
1. I enjoy blogging on the toilet (Whaaat!)
2. I love beer. Craft beer. Dark beer. Strong stuff. (Check out Rogue Vodoo-Donut. Maple Bacon flavored. Pink Bottle. Yes)
3. My boyfriend is a ginger :)
4. I was born and raised in La Porte, Texas for 12 years.
5. Family moved to Chicago when I was 12 and they are currently still residence.
6. Coming up with fun facts are hard. But I really love FF's...
6.5. I have a shopping addiction. Cliche. I know. TLC has recently contacted me to appear on hoarders. Just kidding. But I would not be surprised if the red head has submitted my name to them.
7. I enjoy reading but do not do it enough!
8. I still get excited when I G.T.L.
9. Ummmmmm. :)
9.5 My next race will be ZOOMA in Austin, TX.
10. I am really excited to start a blog because I get to talk about myself more than I already do.
BOOM SHAKA-LAKA.
You can find me on facebook and instagram. But maybe not facebook because of those awesome security settings. SO just instagram.
