Hi world! :)
This is my very first ever blog! I picked the title "Running in Pink" because well, I run in a pink top and cute pink hat. My hope is that this blog can be the outlet/discussion to keep me on track of issues, questions, and reflections on running that I have. I'm hopeful that this blog will be interactive, and I can get feedback on issues as well.
Last year, I walked a half-marathon, and this year, I'm planning on running it. After that, I have plans to run my first ever marathon in January of 2012. I do have activity inducted asthma, so my running issues can easily become that much more complicated-what I think is going to be an easy run turns into a gasping nightmare. Fortunately, right now my asthma is under control, but as anyone with asthma knows, there is only so much you can do.
I guess I should tell you more about myself. I'm happily married, and work full time. I enjoy playing the piano, and spending time with my friends. I do lots of various volunteer activities that I find very rewarding. I also enjoy reading books of all kinds-historical fiction is my favorite, but I also do enjoy a good biography from time to time. I do read all sorts of different kinds of books-I've always loved reading. I'm also a causal gamer, I love games of all kinds.
I mention my other interests mostly due to the fact that you will probably hear about them in one way or another at some point in time despite this being a blog about running. I should also let you know that I"m not a skinny/totally in shape person-I'm not going to put my weight here, but I can tell you that I could lose about 20/30 pounds and be that skinny/in shape kind of person. Who knows-it might happen!
Right now, I'm running between 12:30 to 13:30 to 14:00 mile. The 12:30 is on a good run-right now I"m a smidgen higher (closer to the 14) due to some technical issues that will be resolved soon.
Okay, I think that's a good introduction as to who I am, why I'm writing this blog, and all that other good stuff. I'm not running tonight (its my off night) and I'll post here after my next run. I already have some thoughts/topics I'd like to discuss, so hopefully, I'll keep it interesting enough for you to continue to want to read this blog.
Ciao for now!
