Why Run DMT?

It’s the perfect name for my blog!  Kudos to my friend, John Stanton, for masterminding such a funny and creative title which combines my initials with a little old school.

In the past year, I recently discovered a passion for running.  In the beginning, I could barely run a 1/2 mile.  With the support of my running partners and friends, I stayed motivated and continued to pound the pavement.  Last Thanksgiving, I ran my first 5K race, The Turkey Trot.  Since then, I have increased my distance and have become completely addicted to the adrenaline rush of races.  My distance and my love of running has only continued to grow.  Now, I am training for the Disney’s Goofy Challenge and the Gasparilla Distance Classic Marathon.

But the name “Run DMT” also relates to so many other aspects of my life.  As a SAHM and an organizer of a mommy group, Moms on the Go, I am constantly on the run.  Some days are a blur.  My children keep my on toes, particularly my 3 y.o.

And there’s more running in my future! At some point in my life, I would love to “run” for school board.  I also aspire to become a real published children’s book author and someday I would love a magazine or newspaper to “run” one of my pieces.
