Personal:

I've always been more a dancer than a Runner, but i've ALWAYS been into working out and staying active. I ran the 1 mile in track in Highschool ( i think my fastes mile was right around 7 mins.) but never in my life have I ran longer than one mile until 2009. I am a Zumba instructor and I run in the Spring/Summer. I love running but I do not enjoy running on the TM or outside in the cold, so I guess you could say I'm a Fair weather runner.

I am Happily Married to my hottie husband Moses and have 5 cutie kiddos - Moses Jr. (15), Andre (11), Dallas (10), Rhoman (7) and Scotlyn (3) -

Welcome to the blog. By your shirt I see that you are a Zumba fan and instructor. My oldest daughter instructs also and loves it. She goes to school @ U of Idaho. Good luck with your running.

You are a little contrary, though.

Thanks Rye! Yes I do love Zumba!and I'm starting to love running too, I'm still in the beginning stages of long distance but I'm getting addicted.

Yes Burt, Merri is da-bomb!!!! I feel privileged that she is letting me run with her -- what a great mentor. I hope i can be half as good as her!

Merri- I didn't realize I had beat my time on the 5k, thanks for pointing that out, YIPEE! Progress!

I know! Maybe this saturday I'll come run with you guys. Except you're too fast for me! So I'm trying to find a running buddy I can bring that's more my pace.

Merri is the one who is fast -- Not me! I'm trying my hardest to keep up with her! Right around 8 min miles I'm ok with but anything faster than that is more difficult for me.
