The Introduction Post

Gooooood Afternoon, Blogger!!

In order to get the vibe I'm going for, you need to read that line above in the style of Ty Pennington when he wakes up the family he's about to give an extreme home makeover to. If you don't know what that style is... I'm sorry, I can't find a YouTube video of it.

Anyways, I guess a short intro is on order. My name is Kell & you could say I'm a little bit experienced in the blog-o-sphere. My previous blog (unnecessarydrama.net) was a beauty blog and I just feel like I, how do I say this, outgrew it. I used to be really into makeup and cosmetics, and while I by no means enjoy looking ugly - I guess I just don't really consider it a "passion" anymore. Thanks to the blog, though - I do have roughly 5,496 lipglosses and 931 eye shadow palettes I whip out when I feel like getting crafty with my face.

Now, I run. It's what I do. I never ever ran before in my life until about a year and a half ago. I started running because I just started feeling weird. I was only 23 years old, but I was really anxious and I worried over health issues that I didn't even have. After I signed up for a gym membership and took to the treadmill - I found that after I ran I didn't have that anxiety. After weeks of running - I learned it was possible to TOTALLY live without it.

I've never looked back.

So here I am, older and wiser, and running 20ish miles per week. On Saturday, I leave for Florida to run my first half marathon. I guess what I'm trying to say is THIS is my passion now - not mascara and eyeliner. While I can still do a killer smokey eye, I prefer to spend my evenings hitting the pavement or the hamster wheel, and I'm pretty pumped to share my achievements, tips, reviews, and struggles with all of you. I haven't been running my whole life and I sure as hell don't know everything there is to know about IT bands and shin splints, but damnit - this is what I love to do. 

Keep Running,
Kelli
