Introduction

I wanted to start my blog by telling a little about myself. I am your average middle aged woman. I am married to a great guy, have two children (Samantha & Steven), am a third grade teacher, daughter, sister, and friend. I am extremely busy - aren't we all? I work full time and chauffer the kids part time, although sometimes it feels like a full time job.

I am starting this blog for one main reason. I am a teacher and I want my students to learn to blog. I can't expect them to do something that I myself don't do. So, I am stepping out of my comfort zone and beginning a blog. 

When I thought about doing this I thought, "What in the world will I blog about?" I am so average that no one will want to read what I have to say. There is nothing terribly exciting about me. My family doesn't like me telling friends about them so I thought they would really hate it if I talked about them to the world. I finally decided that I would blog about how I am training for an unusual race. I will chronicle my ups and downs of training. I decided that I really don't care if anyone reads my blog or makes comments. I am doing this for me so I can be a better teacher.
