About Run DMT

In 2007, I 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.  Thanksgiving 2007, 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.

***ETA 5/13/2010: Met those goals and planning to run in the Space Coast Marathon in November 2011***

To read my race recaps, click on Mom on a Run.

Besides being a funny old school reference mixed with a play on my initials, 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.  All three of children keep my on toes.

By following Run DMT,  readers will get a glimpse into the mad world of this mom on the run who’s just trying maintain an easy pace through it all.

    Thanks for your comment on my blog. It was so encouraging. I have found that I really like running as well and the c25k running plan has been so good. I can’t wait to run my first 5K soon. I also can’t wait to read about your first marathon experience. How neat that will be! God bless you in your endeavors.

    THose are such wonderful goals. You certainly can and will attain them if you just don’t stop moving forward. I learned in the ultra marathons that one foot in front of the other will take you as far as you want to go. Keep up the great work. Thank you very much for you great contribution to my blog today also. Your comment was wonderful.

    Hi! I found you through sevenclowncircus’ Wordful Wednesday and when reading your post here, I realized we have a lot in common! It sounds like you’re living in FL? Between the Goofy Run and the Gasparilla Run, it was a guess…..I don’t live there now, but I went to school in Tampa and was raised an hour and half north of there. :-) If you’re not from FL….disregard the last sentence….LOL. Anyway….I also would love to be a published children’s author one day. I do freelance for a local magazine here in Hawaii, so I reached my published piece in a magazine goal last year. :-) Anyway…thought I’d say hello since we seem to have a bit in common! Congrats on your newest addition!

    Great blog title! Gotta love a little old school. :)

    I love that you shared you stunk at running when you started. This is something I’ve been wanting to get serious about, and haven’t found the motivation, I guess. I can barely run around my block without looking like I’m having a heart attack. Thanks to my “30 things”, I gotta get movin’!

    Stopping by from TLB Tea Party. I’m an east coast FL mom(no oil yet-but hubby thinks it’s going to come).

    I agree with Adrienne I like that you shared the difficulty when you first began to run because I too can’t run 1/2 a mile without my shins and calfs given out but it’s truly inspirational to know that another woman struggled and has made it!

    Congrat’s! For accomplishing your goals :)

    Appropriate name indeed! And I was just thinking of Run DMC yesterday–what had become of them! Those were the days when rap was actually enjoyable, when it didn’t take itself too seriously, and didn’t perpetuate hatred and violence!
