In my early 30s, I was at the peak of my career. I ran in the rain, no problem. I ran in the blazing sun, no problem. I ran at 9 p.m. at night – that was no problem either. However, as a busy mother of two, I no longer have the opportunities I once had.

Unfortunately, childcare, time of day, and bad weather (getting sick is just not an option) have kept me from training for any kind of running event for the past seven years. Seven years?!
