At some point in my life I thought I was too good for a one mile run.

I certainly wasn’t always like that. I now manage a running store and most people who have grown to know me in the past eight years probably associate me with Baltimore and fitness, but prior to that I spent most of high school and college a little overweight. Fast forward a few years and a lot of details and I'm a busy mom, who is single at that.  I have a son to support, a job I love, and a village of friends and family to nurture who have helped me step into this single working mom role with grace. To say it can be hard to find time to workout is an understatement. The expectations I had for myself morphed over the course of my pregnancy and first year of life as a mom.
