About me:
Well, I'm 27 years old and am currently a housewife and full time student. I was in the Army for four years, but gave it up to marry a Marine. While I miss the military terribly, living with the love of my life has made it worth the sacrifice.
At the moment, I'm working on my bachelor's and just enjoying being a housewife. Anyone who knows me and my "girl power" attitude is often shocked by this, but it makes me happy.
Beyond that, think of the biggest geek you know and that's me. I'm a movie-nerd, a TV-nerd and a total comic book geek. My only other hobbies are cross-stitching and chatting online. And traveling whenever I can.
Other than all that, I write a blog and am pretty open about my life. So you want to know more, just ask. :) |
Why do I run:
I'm a total technology addicted Type A nutcase. Running is about as low-tech as it gets (even if you use a timer or GPS watch). There's no texting, no email, no IM, no message boards when your running. This gives me a chance to either completely turn my brain off or use the communication blackout to actually think and reflect on things that are going on in my life. Often I feel more relaxed and less stressed after a run than I do after a good night's sleep. |
Why I started running:
Short answer: Because the Army made me do it.
Long answer: I hated running when I was in high school. Any PT was torture, actually. I even failed gym class a few times. But once I joined the Army I fell in love with it.
Ok, that wasn't actually long. But longer so it still counts. |
