This post is inspired by my good friend Marci. She posted on her blog about who she is and asked all that read 'who are you?' I wanted to treat this as a tag. So if you read this you're tagged and you need to tell us who you are on your own blog.
Who Am I ? What a loaded question, as I sit here and think it's hard to not list of titles like, wife, mother, friend, daughter, trainer, etc. Although I am all those things I think we need to go deeper, what makes me tick, what is my driving force, what am I passionate about. For now I will address the first thing that comes to mind.
I'm a woman that is passionate about sports and exercise. I know this isn't a shock to most people, but here's a little background on why. For as long as I remember I have loved playing and watching sports, I played flag football at 5 yrs. old, then on to t-ball, soccer, track, cross country, and swimming. I have not always been the best at all of these endeavors, but I have always enjoyed it. After high school and the constant practicing and competing I took a little break, it wasn't til after having Logan that I got back into it. As we all know when you get pregnant you gain weight, and after you have the baby it's not always as easy as we hope to lose the weight. My goal after Logan was to get back into shape, I didn't have an exact number in mind, but mostly just wanted to fit back into my pre-baby clothes. So I decided to train for a triathlon and play soccer on an outdoor team. With these new developments I was feeling rejuvenated, I felt a zest for life back.
As life goes on we had baby #2 Makay. And as life got busier, but again I found my self going back to 5 k races, triathlons and soccer. As Dave and I like to say I got bitten by the tri bug. I don't really know why I love to train, compete, and race so much but I do. What I do know is that training, competing and racing gives me an opportunity to have me time, it gives me time to reflect on a day good/bad, reflect on things in my life, just time. Which can be hard to find as a mom, wife, housekeeper.
I encourgae all woman to find what gives them their zest for life back, whatever it might be. There are many other facets of who I am, but I will save them for another post, as I have rambled long enough. Lastly, ladies please find out who you are? You deserve it, deserve to feel a zest for life, not just be living.
