About Susan
I am a runner. I love to run. I hate that my butt jiggles when I do so. I run to inspire my daughter and stay svelte for my husband - but mostly I run for myself. I reluctantly and obsessively weigh myself five times a day. I insist my L & R iPod headphones are in their respective ears. I blog to keep myself on track physically, mentally, and to ensure I do not spend all my money on shoes.
