My name is Hayley, and I'm a 26 year old wannabe runner whose other hobbies include writing, theatre, dancing, singing, french, and a whole bunch of other things. I'd say I'm quite the dabbler.

I was born in Texas and lived there for 23 years, growing up in Dallas and going to college in Austin. I moved to Bellevue, Washington two years ago.
JW and I got married on May 3, 2014 in Dallas. I am so lucky!

I call myself a "wannabe runner" because even though I've completed five half marathons and a full marathon, I still don't feel like a real
runner. I hope someday my mentality will
change, because runners seem pretty awesome.

I seem to always be “in training” for something, whether it
be trying out a workout program, preparing to run a race, or even switching up
my eating regimen. My goal is to stay fit and be as healthy as I can without
becoming obsessed with it. I hope this blog will 1) keep me accountable for
those goals, 2) maybe help some other people out along the way, and 3) be one
of my several unique hobbies, which I will explain later.

After perusing running blogs for about two months and
spending an insane amount of time vacillating back and forth on whether I
should start a blog, I decided that the energy I was putting towards thinking about starting one should be
put towards, you know, actually getting one started.
While this blog will focus mostly on running (especially at the start), I will change it up as my goals shift.
