Running for the sake of my children's lives

So many people have asked me why I started running.
The simple answer is this: So I didn't kill my kids.

On May 27th 2016 I think we were two days into summer break here in Illinois and I was already at my wits end with the I'm bored talk and I have nothing to do dealings of my children. When the hubs returned from work I looked him straight in the eyes and said "I need to go for a run." He then peered at me like the apocalypse was real and happening at that very moment. That's right folks, I said I needed to go running. With this still fearful look in his eye he then asks, "It's been that bad, huh?", yes it had been that bad.
I threw my running shoes on and went outside to the end of driveway. I then proceeded to run two miles. Mind you I had probably not ran two straight miles since I left the military 18 years previously. Obviously I ran out of pure anger release.
Then a dramatic change happened when I returned home. I was calm, cool, collected and best yet, no one was gong to die that day. So I thought, hmmm, maybe this running thing is for me????
So here I am a 5k, 4 miler, 10k, half marathon runner sharing with you my adventures & misadventures in running.
