A blog by any other name....

Is still a blog. And yet it was just that... a blog name... that was keeping me from starting one. It seemed to me that I needed something to express who I am. Or what my family is. [For some the choice is obvious. My sister IS a RocketWife.] So I struck out on a mental journey to try to define myself or my life in 3 words or less... without much luck. So I have given up on defining anything. Just decided to share our journey.

Now running has defined many moments of our life as a family. For Mark it is literal. Daily training [check out his training blog if you need a reminder], physical races with real starts and real finish lines. But for me it is figurative. This is a stage race. Any training happens along the way. No one gave me a map. I regularly lose my way. Fall down. Need help and direction. Need my family and friends to be my crew. To cheer my way. This race does not have a DNF option. Injury? Sorry, suck it up. Tired and need a break? Okay, take one. [If you can] The race will still be on, whether you want it to be or not. Rewards? Yes. Everyday if you are willing to look for them.

So, I am inviting you along to be my crew. My support team. To share in the good, the bad, the ugly. The ordinary and the EXTRAordinary things that are part of MY race.
