I’m not a big fan of social media. I don’t like sharing personal information with strangers (and sometimes even friends). I rarely put myself in the spotlight. I have never wanted to be the princess or the birthday girl. Why then, you ask, am I starting a blog? Simply put, I’ve got a case of curiosity and a little extra time on my hands (I’ll elaborate more on the extra time in a future post).
I have a 9-5 office job that has been my life’s work since graduating college. My job suits my skills and makes the mortgage payments, but doesn’t usually satisfy my passions. What are my passions, you ask? Well, as you may have picked up from my tagline, running is one of them. As is growing up and living in NYC. Another is my family, especially now being a somewhat new mommy. My lovely black and gray BOB stroller (yes – that’s who BOB is!) allows me to maintain my passion for running and spend precious time with my munchkin and her daddy. She is now 2.6 years old and has been running with us in the BOB since she was one month old.
Then there’s this other thing – like I said before, I’m not big on gabbing about my personal life, however, I do enjoy writing very much and don’t get the opportunity to do so creatively while at work, caring for the family or running. So…I’m hoping this blog will help me to explore an untapped passion while sharing my experiences (as well as mistakes and lessons learned) in the world of running, parenting and other matters close to my heart.
More to come – thanks for visiting!
