The Creationista

This post will be the first of it’s kind, but hopefully not the last. I am constantly busy and never have enough time to craft but I am always creating and recreating other things: food, house stuff, my new scooter (post coming soon!) and myself! So in order to post more often, I’m going to start blogging about these other things as well. So, day 1: running.

People who knew me in high school and college knew a thin, athletic girl who never stopped moving. Then I met my husband…. Like a lot of new couples we gained “happy relationship weight” - the problem was we gained a lot. I went from a size 8 to a size… a lot bigger than that. I stayed that way - fat and happy - for years.

Finally, I decided enough was enough. In February I got my ass off the couch and got running. I’m still slow, I’m still not happy with my running, but I’m still doing it. I’m back down to a size 10, but I still have some work to do, so when my blogger pal Lindsay announced today that she was going to do the Hotter than Hades Virtual Half Marathon, I immediately signed up. For me, things like this are a great way to keep myself motivated.

The event is free (just advertise it to your friends!) and there are a bunch of cool prizes for the “winners” (randomly drawn). Check it out and think about joining me!
