Karon's Running Motivation

I know most of you don't know me, but I'm really excited to be a part of your team! Tiffany and I met our Sophomore year of college because we lived in the same apartment complex. Her now sister-in-law was one of my best friends in high school! We've been getting together with our kids for almost 4 years.

I've been married for about 5 1/2 years and have three kids: Ashlyn (4), Carter (2) and Audrie (3 months). We live in Southwest Orem . My husband, Brad, works at ancestry.com (he's only been there for about 4 months) and I'm a stay-at-home mom. I am NOT crafty or a good cook or very athletic, but I like to read and I like to run.

This is our most recent family picture.

I, like Tiffany, have given myself a little incentive to get out there and run the miles. I've decided that for every mile I run, I get $1 to spend on running-related stuff. This includes running clothes, running shoes, and even race entrance fees. As of today, I've only racked up $38, but I'm hoping that the amount will start increasing at a faster rate as my endurance improves. I think these running gloves will be one of my first purchases.

My goal is to get out and run three times a week and to do yoga or pilates as cross-training. I also have some more baby weight that I'd like to lose, so, I'm working on that too. It has been slow going!

I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!
