Organic Runner Mom

It’s time for some Old School Blogging

I haven’t done many of these Old School Blogging questionnaires but I thought this one might tell you a little more about me. I am still relatively new to the blogosphere having created Organic Runner Mom in November of 2011. My blog is continually evolving and has become one of my true passions. I have discovered a true love of writing. My blog has become almost therapeutic for me and has also allowed me to bring to you the things that I love the most. I am bringing you with me on my adventures through life as a runner, a mom, a friend, an explorer, a motivator, and a compassionate soul. I want you to discover your true happiness and to test your limits as I am learning to do.  Each post shares with you a small piece of me and hopefully through my Old School Blogging today you will in turn discover a small piece of yourself too.

Enjoy what the day has to bring!

5 Things I Have a Passion For:

1. My family (It’s a love like no other)
2. Running as far and as long as my body will take me (and in the summer its a bonus if my run takes me to the water!)
3. Everything about food.
