Anyway, I am 44 years old and am the mom to 5 strapping boys...make that 6 if you count my husband! When I met my husband lots of years ago, he already had 3 of those 5 boys and they were 7, 9 and 12 years old at that time, so needless to say, when I got married I became an instant mom...and that wasn’t an easy task! You would think that having teenagers almost from the start would have scared me from having kids of my own, but it didn’t, so we added two more boys to the mix...and I haven’t regretted it for a minute! Now my boys, Patrick, Chris, Jon, Hayden and Connor are 27 (next week), 23, 21, 8 and 6 years old!
As far as running goes, I used to hate it with a passion and I would have much preferred to ride a bike. Then I had a boyfriend that ran a marathon with little or no training and that gave me the confidence that I could do it too…so I started training and ran my first half marathon! Shortly after that, I got hurt and then right after that I got married and my running soon went out the window...for about 10 years!
About 3 years ago when I quit work to stay home, I officially started running again and although at times I don’t love it, I can honestly say that I love all that I’ve been able to accomplish with it! I have now ran 9 half marathons and 4 marathons and I’m excited to keep expanding my horizons...and running the Ragnar is going to help me do just that!
I’m lucky enough to be the one person on the team that knows everyone that we’re running with and even though I don’t know all of you really well, I do know that you’re all pretty incredible people or we wouldn’t have chosen you to run with us! I’m excited to get to hear more about each one of you and I am thrilled to be a part of our team! After all...Blister Sisters rock!
