The why

I have been a blog reader for a while and started a blog once, but after one post, stopped. I have thought recently, I'll start blogging once we have kids... that will be an easy way for our family (who live far away) to keep up with our lives. I told my co-worker this week, I want to start a blog, but I don't have anything to say. After he reminded me that every day I have a story, I decide what the heck, let's do this!

I wanted a catchy title and I love alliteration. Steven and I have been training together for a half marathon in May - this is his 1st and my 2nd. So of course Running with the Runyans made perfect sense! A quick running story - Steven learned about partner running on one of our first long runs together. We had received over a foot of snow in the last week in Tulsa and it was melting and finally sunny. So we headed out to the trails to go for a 4 miler. There was more slosh and snow remaining than we realized and after about 1/4 of a mile my feet are sopping wet (in my new running shoes!) and I have almost fallen 3x. I look up from my concentration to see that Steven is just taking off and not looking back at all. Needless to say, after another 1/2 mile I just stopped and yelled "I'm done!" and waited for him to finally stop. That is the day he learned about running partner etiquette :) He is much better now... very polite.

Back to the why - I'm not sure how entertaining this will be, but ever since I got out of PR which was not long after college, I stopped writing and writing was always something I enjoyed. I journal, but never about random happenings.

I also hope that this blog will make me accountable to taking more pictures. I think we have 3 different types of cameras and we take them everywhere, but always fail to take pictures. It makes me sad when I want to update my facebook profile with a new pic.

So here I go on a new journey!
