Spring has sprung

With a new found love of running, I'm looking forward to the warmer weather in a whole new light this year. Since January, I have shed 26lbs. and changed a ton about our lifestyle. I've completed one 5K, and am signed up for 2 more. Our ultimate training goal is to reach a half marathon in the fall. I simply cannot wait, but the journey is amazing. We eat clean... organic... all natural... as much as possible. I enjoy weekly running bouts of 15+ total miles, with my long runs around 6 miles now. I'm looking for outside activities and cultural experiences for my family. We are going to try kayaking, hiking, and mountain biking this spring. And of course we'll be headed to the beach for sun and waves. I've decided to live my life. That who I am matters, and that each day is a new chance to try something new or experience something fabulous. The flavours and experiences of this world should consume us, day in and day out. God created this world with so much for us to explore and be fascinated with... and I'm tired of taking that for granted. World, here I come.
