Dear RWM Readers,
Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for joining me on the crazy ride that was this year. My 10 year old recently asked me why I have a blog. Is it to make money? she asked. No, I explained, money has nothing to do with it. And then I kept going, though I'm pretty sure she lost interest at this point given that she started doing her homework....by choice. Seriously, though, I started it on a whim back in 2012 because I was feeling overly passionate about running and music at that point in my life and I wanted to talk about it with anyone who cared to listen. From there it has evolved into so much more. For me, it has become a central hub for questions of my own and a way to get advice from others of, a medium to process my experiences, a method of coping and working through tough times, a place to meet new people from all walks of the earth, and, ultimately, where I now like to start when I want to put down and then share my adventures in training, racing, coaching, motherhood and so much more. Often when I sit down to write, I feel as if I'm sitting down to tell you, the readers, the story in person. It has become a way for me to connect with readers without actually having them in my office, which I think is really damn cool. So, grab a cup of coffee, have a seat, and join me today as I rehash some of the experiences from 2017 that made a significant impact on my life as well as the music that influenced me along the way. I'm guessing a few of you who are reading this were part of one if not many of them. Also, really cool. Here's to closing out the old and starting up the new. Hope you'll stick with me for the next round of whatever gets thrown my way. HAPPY NEW YEAR to all. See you on the flip side. I can't wait.
Cheers,
