What this Blog is All About ...

What is this blog about?!


I chose the name Running Diva Mom for a reason. It's what I'm all about. It's about my training and racing and the friends I make along the way. It's about my journey as a young mother raising two incredible kids and the fun things we do together. It's about my sense of style and how I incorporate that into my running and my lifestyle and the cool products I enjoy sharing with you.


That's how it all started. It was about me. It is still about me. I have not changed. I am who I am and I am exactly what you see on my blog. At least that's what people tell me that have had the opportunity to meet me in person. I am a happy, outgoing and colorful person and no "anonymous" commenter is going to bring me down and convince me that I am otherwise. I am a happy person and am only going to be happier in the future.


If you don't like me and don't enjoy hearing what I have to say, then I guess you should refrain from reading my posts. I am a very positive person and am not going to say anything negative about anyone or anything on RDM. This blog will NOT be about negativity.

One thing that has changed about me ..... Since I started this blog about a year-and-a-half ago, I realize now that I have been building my support system here virtual friends online, bloggers I've met in person, reconnecting with old friends, strengthening bonds and forming new ones. That is obvious from my last post. I've been building my support system and preparing for this very difficult time in my life. I am surprisingly doing VERY well one-month-out because of my support system. Other than Little Diva and Little Dude, my support system means everything to me right now. And, I have made so many new connections because of this terrible situation. It is obvious that so many other people have similar stories. It is an unfortunate bond, but I think that I will have some ever-lasting bonds with some very special people because of it. Huge hugs to all of you!

So many of you have reached out to me over the past month to remind me about how STRONG I am. I have appreciated your encouragement and your comments. But, you know what?!?! I already knew that.

I was wearing my cuff bracelet from Jill at Lift Your Sole (HERE) today. It says A FIT WOMAN IS A POWERFUL WOMAN. When I received and reviewed this bracelet months ago ... I didn't know how much those words really meant. I am powerful and strong. And, I'm just getting stronger.

I mean, how many people can say that they've run three marathons and more than a dozen half marathons while raising two fantastic children?! How many women can say they've endured childbirth without pain medication?! How many people can say they've come out of an all time low point in their life ... escaped the negative to find the positive ... with a smile on their face?! ME.

Thanks, as always,

for following my journey ...

It's gonna be a fantastic journey, too!
