Motivation Monday

How are you going to make today ridiculously awesome?? 

I'll be starting off my day with a nice run and then my husband and I will be taking our kidlets bowling! Sounds ridiculously awesome to me. :)

Make your Monday count!!

Intro :)

Since this is my first post of my running blog, I would like to start with introducing myself. I'm Amber and I just recently started calling myself a runner. I ran my first 5k in July 2013 and my first half-marathon in September 2013 and lets just say, I got hooked. I've been running ever since and love how running makes me feel. I'm happier, I have more energy, I have a healthy way to relieve stress, I feel good about myself, and all around, I'm just a better person.
I am married to a man who is just perfect for me. We've been married for nine-and-a-half years and I can't believe we're old enough to have been married that long! We have three children: 4-year old boy/girl twins, and a 2-year old boy. They keep me pretty tired and busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Oh how I love my family!
I teach math at a local university and I absolutely love it. I'm so happy that I get paid to do something I love. I'm also in the middle of graduate school and hopefully will be graduating next summer! And I cannot wait until that day!! :)
I'm excited to start writing about my running journey!

This is me running at the beach on Thanksgiving! It was awesome!
