WHO IS WIFEY AND WHAT IS SHE RUNNING?

30 Second Version

I’m a former music industry executive who left the business with big dreams of starting a writing career and a family. I’m happy to report that’s exactly what I did. Now, instead scheduling hectic press days and appearances for recording artists I schedule homework, play dates and sport activities for my own little superstars. I do my best to balance marriage, motherhood and all the mayhem with a writing career that I love dearly.

Oh, did I mention in 2010 I ran my first marathon? That’s right, all 26.2 miles of the Marine Corps Marathon while tweeting and taking pictures for the Washington Post online. I’m on a mission to to be the healthiest that I can be and hope to inspire others to do the same. In 2011 I shed 25 pounds for my 40th birthday and ran marathon number two – The Chicago Marathon. In January 2012 I was featured in the “I Did It!” section of Fitness Magazine; and in March 2013 I ran my third marathon, the Napa Valley Marathon. I recently published my first book; frequently write for several national magazines; I’m a regular contributor at TravelingMom.com sharing destination running tips as Marathon TravelingMom; I’m on the American Cancer Society Blogger Advisory Council; and you may have seen my wedding on TLC’s “A Wedding Story” or caught me on The Travel Channel’s television show “Great Cruises: Why Not the Mediterranean?”

I launched Run Wifey Run because I’m always running – running my household; running my career; running a personal chauffeur service for my kids; and running – literally – for my health … and my sanity. Ahem. My running also reignited my passion for traveling. Destination running keeps on the move – one of my latest adventures took me to beautiful Negril, Jamaica for the Reggae Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K. Yes, it’s a must do. You can also find me at my other site, Ask Wifey, where I dish more about marriage, motherhood, overcoming my “domestic challenges” and my travel adventures.

My wife of 13 long, loving, sometimes challenging, but awesome years (our life-changing wedding was featured on The Learning Channel’s “A Wedding Story”). I wouldn’t trade her for anything. Anything except 50 yard-line seats to see the San Francisco 49ers win the Super Bowl … or Sade. Not really, but if you know someone who can make it happen …

OK, thanks for sharing Husband. Ahem.
