When I first began this blog it was about me, a mom, running around crazy like a chicken without its head in high heels. My life was out of control. I was stressed, over-tasked, and used shopping as my therapy. While I am still a lot crazy, a lot has changed since I began this blog. I've dropped some pounds, I no longer hang out at Ala Moana to window shop every Sunday, and I don't spend every standing hour in high heels. For those if you who knew me in my 30s it seems a little shocking but for those of you that grew up with me it doesn't sounds so far-fetched.
As I write today I feel more in balance and it has nothing to do with the fact that I am not in heels all the time. Or maybe it does. This "running" thing that started as a means to lose weight and get healthy has evolved. Today I don't run to lose weight (although that would be nice) instead I run as a means to relieve stress, run away from my problems (literally) and to make my mind strong by pushing myself past all limitations.
In the past few months I have learned a lot about myself. I've learned that if I set my mind to do something there is nothing that can stop me. It is a gratifying feeling to see how mentally and physically tough I have become through very hard work and determination. It is the most liberating feeling to know that I can put my shoes on and run and run and run.
So, as I have evolved this blog has evolved also. I will be writing more about my running journey, but don't worry. I am still as cuckoo as ever, still love to cook and eat, still refuse to be a lame van driving mom, and will definitely blogging about the fashion of running. In fact, follow this blog now because we will soon be having our first ever give away!!!!!
