About Me

Hi!  I’m Lizzie and this is my little blog.

I’m a teacher, wife, mommy and wannabe runner.  I wanted to start this blog in order to keep myself on track and motivated with my running.  

I hope to share my running and mommy stories as well as other little nuggets of my life.  

A little about my life…

I grew up and live in North Carolina.  I did venture to South Carolina for college, but came back home to my same hometown to live and work.  I did move to a neighboring small town, but that is about as far as I went.  Don’t get me wrong...I LOVE to travel, but I enjoy where I live so why change it?

I met the love of my life during my 2nd year of teaching.  We both worked at the same school, so we became pseudo high school sweethearts.  We fell in love, got married, got a dog and got another dog (this took us up to three dogs).

Then, on April 7, 2014, our lives were blessed beyond belief when our daughter Aria was born.   She was 6 pounds, 6 ounces and completely perfect!

Now, I am a  busy mommy trying to learn how to balance motherhood, work, exercising, running a home, etc.  I ran some before I was pregnant but never in earnest.  I was “training” for a half marathon when I found out I was pregnant and then quickly used that as the excuse not to do it anymore.  (My doctor said I could still do it, but I let the nausea and fatigue change my mind).  Now, I've set my goals for running and want to accomplish them.  I am running in my first half-marathon on February 14, 2015.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my ramblings.
