Just kinda rambling...

Every have one of those moments when you feel like you just stepped out of a time warp?! That would be me. What a transition moving from "working mom of one" to "stay at home mom of two". Who knew that one extra set of legs would keep my legs moving so much more! Yeah yeah yeah, all you mothers of two or more, laugh it up, I know I'm just starting to get into the "fun stuff" but for those of us who just made the move from one kid to two, or don't have children yet, its quite the eye opener!

The blog has been in my mind recently, trying to figure out what it is... Is it a "road to workout" blog, is it an online diary, is it the next "new online discovery" that just hasn't been discovered yet?... And I decided to just focus on the title. The title is "Memoirs of Life" and well, life has twists and turns and makes many many changes. And has many different faces. Each change creates and defines us, even the changes we don't expect. Or perhaps the changes we do expect (like getting pregnant) but are completely naive to what that change REALLY means.

And this may sound cliche, but all this blog "soul searching" is happening around the same time as I am trying to figure out who I am too. This is another one of those self-realizing epiphanies, I'm 28 (gasp I just announced my age to the world!!!) and I've just under gone a complete life change. When I was just graduating high school and beginning college I had two visions of myself. Myself the career architect with the high-folutant job, showing all the "good 'ol boys" that a girl can do it better. And Myself as a Mom... Well, the architecture thing kinda worked for a while. And I did show the boys that girls can do it better right up until the point when I got pregnant. Then in the blink of an eye my focus switched from career to family. And I pulled myself out of the working world, fingernails gripping doorways the whole time.

This is the unfortunate thing about not writing in a blog for a substantial amount of time. So many different things happen that you don't really know where to start. In the past 5 months in my life we have had: A death in the family, had a baby myself, an engagement, a pregnancy announcement, farm life adventures and catastrophes, lets not forget adventures with a 3 year old, and the "quick" home improvement projects that turned into the construction zone that never ends.....sound familiar?

So I guess this is where this post will end. Just kinda touching base, admitting to the world that I have not forgotten about you, even those of you who haven't found me yet. And one topic at a time I will touch base on many things. I'm still here, and I'm still running.

This crazy life

So, it's been yet again a ridiculously long time between postings. I know I know everyone always uses the "life gets hectic" excuse. But the truth of the matter is that it does!! So right around the time of my last post I discovered I was/ still am pregnant! Horray for me and my family! But it also pretty much put the cabash on any sort of workout training regime. My Dr suggested that I just try to maintain my capabilities at the time I found out about the pregnancy. Ok, so.... Walking. At least it was easy to maintain for the past few months. So now as I'm expected to go into labor any day now, I've been thinking alot about how I'm going to get back into shape. Especially now that I'll have two rugrats to juggle :) the answer seems clear enough, run.... Or walk for a while and then run. Back to square one, again. Eventually I swear I will get beyond square one, beyond walking. I'd really love to run the Silver Creek Falls half-marathon again. But that might be a little far fetched this year but it is on the horizon. But I'm still here and I'm still running....sorta
