Hi! Welcome to my blog!
I’m Rachel – One mom who is running through life one day at a time. We may have already met though Twitter (@RunningRachel), where I spend time chatting about my adventures in parenting, finding time for fitness, and growing in my faith.
You will find that my focus on Running Rachel is simply one mom’s journey trying to balance family, faith, fitness, sometimes food and always fun! I am not an expert, just simply an over worked, over tired Mom trying to make a positive impact in the lives of those I meet.
My family…
I married my college sweetheart almost 9 years ago and we have THREE active little super heroes. Calvin is 5, Peyton is 3 and Tristen just turned 2. My husband and I love being active with them and teaching them about healthy living. These little apples didn’t fall far from the tree – they’re all very athletic just like us. Calvin loves climbing trees, dirt bike riding, swimming, and gymnastics. Peyton loves riding bikes and doing gymnastics. And little Tristen is following in his big brothers footsteps by running, jumping, and copying their every move.
As for me…
I LOVE to run! Running is my exercise soul-mate. I have always been a runner (think back to elementary/junior high cross country). I have never loved racing, but know that racing helps keep me motivated with my fitness journey: challenging me to do my best.
Future goals…
I’m a goal-oriented person, so I thrive on setting goals and creating plans to reach them. I’m currently training for a motivating 2012 which I hope will include: a bunch of road races, a handful of half marathons and perhaps even a FULL!?
Follow and join me, as I run through life (faith, family, fitness and fun) one day at a time.
Thanks for stopping by!
Rachel

Wow nice to “meet” you Rachel! I never knew that you were into the crunchy stuff – I’m also a cloth diaper & breastfeeding fan among other things!

My husband happened to be reading this as I was…and he asked this was actually me, lol. I could have probably written about 85% of these 🙂 Even some of the random things (like curse words!) Although change mine to 3 girls.
Rachel says
Love it! Thank you for visiting and reading! I look forward to getting to know YOU better!! 🙂

What is up with all these people NOT reading twilight?! *sigh* Put it on your bucket list my dear! 😉 Thanks for playing along!
Rachel says
I really do want to read it (it is on my ‘must read’ list)… I just don’t have the time to sit and read right now… my reading is more ‘self help/diet/finance’ books. LOL Lovely, eh? 😛
Greta says
OH no, you hate swearing! I will try to refrain around you!
Must know your shocking beliefs!
Also – we have extended BFing (until my son was 3!), babywearing (well, my husband did that more) and co-sleeping (which kid/s sleep with you? our son sleeps with us too)!
Great to know more about you!
Rachel says
No worries about the swearing. I usually do my best to tune it out – but I do cringe when I hear it over and over. 🙂
LOL – my shocking beliefs are not one to be made public. LOL.
Co-sleeping… Tman sleeps with us. I would love for him to sleep in his own bed, but he just sleeps better (as do I) with us. And, it works for us. 🙂
