Long Time No See and Winners Announcement!!!

I'm back!!
I took a 3 wk hiatus from running and blogging, but my surgery was a success and I have never been so ready to start running again in my life!  In fact... I have decided to not only focus on running, but fitness and healthy eating/cooking as well. I would like to say it is because I am just that kind of Martha Stewart/Rachel Ray type person, but let's be honest here . . . I do not cook and I never have nor have I ever been one to hit the gym. (Running has always been my preferance.) So this will be an adventure for sure! I have hired a trainer and have pulled out the cookbooks!
I am pretty sure that the main reason I am driven to take up this new healthy lifestyle is because I am FED UP with the immobile lifestyle I have had for the past 3 wks. I have felt like a SLUG! I am sure many of you can relate... when you have to take some time off from running due to injury, health-related issues, etc. there is definitely a drive in you when you come back that is stronger than ever... So I am back and have never been so motivated :)
BTW: There are so many things I wish to share with you regarding things that I have discovered about myself in the past three weeks as well as all of the happenings that have occured that I intend to tell you all about in future posts - this week...... Stay tuned!
I want to thank all my blogging buddies who have lifted me up throughout my hiatus. You have meant the world to me!
And last but not least, I have saved the best for last..... I know you are all wondering who won my giveaway forever long ago..... Sooo......
I also want to announce my waaayyyy overdue winners of my FITNESS MAGAZINE GIVEAWAY!!!! I used random.org to help me out with this giveaway because I wanted to be completely fair, and the lucky numbers were 8 and 27
Drumroll please........................... Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for:

Lauren from Reading and Running

and

Tara from Colorado Runner

Yes, both of these fabulous running women have each won a year long subscription to Fitness Magazine!! Yay!! Congratulations!!!

I have missed you all and can't wait to catch up with each and every one of you :) MMMUUUAAAHHH!

Marvelous Miles to You All!

  6. Welcome back. Glad surgery went well and that you are back. Funny how injury and/or illness put things in a different perspective.

  7. Glad all is well. Sounds like you are very motivated in few areas. Me... not so much.... just in the running. One day though, if I dont burn down my kitchen when/if I try to cook. HaHa.

    Best wishes,
