About Me

Running is still very new for me.  I dabbled in a few sports growing up.  Nothing I was particularly good at.  Discovered surfing in my late teens/early twenties.  Through it, met my husband, travelled to the most amazing places and have had some of the best times of my life.  Husband and I moved to Florida so he could focus on a new career path, (good time to point out, I am from Australia, husband is from all over, but for ease of conversation, California)  When I moved to Florida it became evident that a person can go two ways: morbidly obese, using a scooter to get through Wal-Mart, or a super fit fanatic that runs for 'fun'.

Without surfing I knew I had to find another way to stay in shape.

I used to laugh at people that would run in hot and humid weather that Florida provides.  'It's called a car, people!  Much quicker than running!'.  Now I am one of them.  Or at least I try to be.

I have two men in my life.  Husband, who has helped me so much with this new running craze of mine.  I don't know of anyone else that would be willing to ride a bike next to me while running 16 miles, while still not understanding the need for me to run as we own two perfectly good cars.
And our baby.  Busty, also known as Dog.

When he was still small and cute.  Well, now he is only slightly larger and just as teddybear-like.
