So, here it is, my first blog post. Okay, not really. Once upon a time we had a family webpage and I had a little blog on it, but this is the first one I have created myself. So, I called it "Run Like a Mother" because I happen to love that little running slogan, as I am a mother of three. I considered calling it "Running From the Law", as I am also a lawyer, but I consider myself a mother above all else.
A little about me and my running career... I never ran a single step until I was 31 years old. My daughter ran cross country at the time. A friend of mine bought her a Runner's World magazine and, bookworm that I am, I read it simply because it was there. It inspired me, somehow, and a (not so great) runner was born. I ran my first 5K in November 2005 and finished with something like a 41:00 time. I felt like an Olympic Athlete!!! I won't bore you with my entire race history, but my biggest accomplishment was the completion of the Army 10 miler in October 2006. In August 2008, after losing 35 pounds, I posted a PR of 27:55 in a 5K.
So, don't expect to see anything amazing transpire here... just a girl who tries really hard to get better and learn from her mistakes. :)
