100

This is my 100th post, I can't believe it's been 8 months since I started this blog. It's amazing how many wonderful and inspiring runners I've met here. There have been days that I wanted to give up but I knew you were all here supporting me, giving me words of encouragement.

I thought about giving you a post with 100 things about me but since I favor keeping things short I decided that just 10 things would do for now, I'll add more 10 at a time to other posts. You guys have become my friends so I wanted to share with you things my real life friends know and not a single one is about running.

1. I have been married 7 years but both my husband and I rarely wear our wedding rings.
2. I got married when I was 20 years old, it was a quick wedding at the courthouse because my husband was deploying in a month, turns out he didn't deploy for 6 months.
3. I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks after he left for Iraq.
4. When we were trying to get pregnant with my daughter I completely altered my diet and took cranberry supplements to help us conceive a girl, apparently it worked.
5. Two weeks after my daughter was born my husband left for Iraq, again.
6. A month later he came home because he was diagnosed with stage 3 malignant melanoma.
7. The following year would be the hardest year of my life.
8. This month will mark 4 years that he has been without a recurrence, we have one more year until we can exhale.
9. As much as cancer completely screwed our lives up, we both learned so much and we wouldn't change a thing.
10. Although we make some pretty gorgeous kids, we decided that two was plenty for us and our sanity. 

Don't forget the Nuun giveaway ends on Sunday at midnight.
