I am a married mother of two who decided to finish what I started in 2008 – run a half-marathon. I wanted to start this blog to help me track my progress while I train, and to also give me an outlet to express my thoughts, discoveries, opinions, etc. As of October 2011 I have officially completed my first half-marathon. Now with a few more 10Ks under my belt I am ready to tackle 26.2 miles in May 2013.
Let’s look at it as an online training journal. One that I am willing to share with you lovely people.
Running is the main focus right now, but I will also be sharing other aspects of my life because I am more than just a runner.
I am a mother.
I am a wife.
I am a writer.
I am a baker at heart.
I am many things.
I live in a small BC village of 620 people (most of whom are retired) and try to live my life as simply as possible. This is not that difficult living in the country where the nearest city is almost 2 hours away; however, my credit card is saved at numerous online stores so my shopping habits haven’t been hit too hard 
I used to question whether I was truly a Leo. Then I realized I write two blogs about my life. Yup. Definitely a Leo.
So please, feed my Leo ego and send me your thoughts, comments, suggestions, et al. I would love to hear from you.

This is so cool, I’m glad I found your blog! I live in North Van, I’d be so curious to know what small BC village this is that has only 620 people? I’m from the Cayman Islands and growing up my island had only 40,000 people and that was considered small
. Love your goal, half marathon – so impressive!
Hey Anna! I live in Midway, about 4-5 hours East of Vancouver, don’t blink because you might miss it
