My First Blog Post - This & That





 Hi Everyone .............this is my very first time trying to do any blogging, but I thought I would give it a try!!

First of all I want to say I had a hard time trying to figure out a name for my blog; so I tried to incorporate the words that I identify with; of course I couldn't get everything in the title.  I don't want to diminish my roles as a Wife, Mother AND a Grandmother but with Rylan only 9 months old and me so new to this grandparent role, I wanted to be sure that I identified myself in that wonderful new persona.

Since what I most likely will be "blogging" about the most is my passion/hobby, running/jogging & racing; I thought it would be best to use that in the name of my blog too!

Today I did my second race of the weekend; the Stray Pet Strut 5K at Lake Lanier Islands.  I am a big dog lover so I love to do this race which benefits Hall County Humane Society.  We got a wonderful black lab there back in 1991 named Max and he lived to be 14 yrs old.  So running a race to benefit the shelter where we got our beloved Max gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.  Of course I LOVE seeing all the dogs there and would bring all the adoptable ones home if I could.
I don't think my three doggies would like that too much!

Since I just posted pictures of my three furbabies; it would only be appropriate to put a picture of Rylan on here too!!  I will try to put his picture first but I am just learning how to use this blog so bear with me; if the dogs are showing up before Rylan, don't get the wrong idea, I love my grandson the most!!  But those furbabies are pretty important too!

The next best thing about the Stray Pet today was that I had my second best time running a 5K that I have had this year.  I have had a problem getting below 40 minutes since I have gained some weight and just don't seem to have much energy especially during the winter months.  I did a 38:40 and got FIRST PLACE (by default but don't tell anyone; I still won it fair & square!).

Its late so I guess this is enough blogging for my first time!
If you read all this, you're probably asleep by now.........until next time.........

  2. Grand Baby is a cutie! I didn't mention his pretty Mommy because that's what happens when you become a Momma; nobody notices you anymore. :)

    You are off to a great start.
