I used to be an athlete. In high school, I was on the track team. In college, I was a varsity rower. But then life happened. I graduated from college in 1998, got my first real job and started slacking in the exercise department. Add two kids and a few extra pounds and I was unhappy. In November 2006 I started running again as a way to shed some weight and get some much-needed "me time". And now I am back in school to pursue a career in nursing. Here's my journey.

Congrats! How great is that - your first race after getting back into running, and you win an award??!!!
I found your blog the other day through Java Mom's, and I almost laughed out loud, because my name is Michelle, I have two kids, I recently started running again, and - get this - my nickname used to be Micki!
So anyway, I can relate to a lot of what you're writing here :)
