About Me
Hello! My name is April and I am a 44 year old married mom of 3 boys(men). I recently found running during the Covid pandemic and have fallen in love with what running does for my mind and my body.
In 2019, I had lost my 6 figure business, I had a surprise pregnancy a few years back, and I was crashing fast! I felt like I had lost myself.
So, on a cold February day, I recorded myself saying how for the next 90 days I was going to change my life by changing my business, my health and my spirituality. I laced up my shoes and headed down my street for a run. That day, I was desperate. I needed hope. I had lost me. That run was more like a huff fest. I tried to run but my legs could barely carry me one block. My breathing was ragged and I had no idea what I was doing. I just needed to be outdoors. I craved what I thought running could do for me, but body was in complete shock and rebellion mode.
Over the next few months, I connected with some runner friends and downloaded the C25K app. I downloaded at least 5 apps, trying to find the right fit for me. I wanted a magic bullet. I joined all the Facebook groups. I asked hundreds of questions. I ran fast and felt horrible. I was fighting through heartbreak but also learning how to become a runner.
This blog is to chronicle my journey from depression to triumph as running is guiding me on my journey of peace of mind.
