Well, I did it! I finally started the blog I've been meaning to for the past few years. I guess I put it off for so long because I thought I needed a shtick - that one area of expertise or one thing I was passionate about - but the reality is that I have so many interests and passions, and I'm sure most of you can relate. Therefore, you will see posts on here about everything from running to social media marketing to relationships.
For those of you who don't know me, let me tell you a little about myself. First off, let's get this out of the way: yes my name is Michael and yes I am a girl. It's pronounced exactly as it's spelled and I love it! Although it gave me some grief growing up, I wouldn't change my name - it's unique.
I'm really into running. I've only been consistently running for a little over a year now, but I've come so far in just that short amount of time. Recently I knocked 8 minutes off my 10K PR from last year! I sign up for races all the time because that's what keeps me going. My next one is in 3 days - whoo hoo!
I love music. No seriously - LOVE it. I know everyone says that but I'm listening to music almost every second of the day and if I'm not, then I'm singing! I love to sing. I'm that girl in the car next to you in standstill traffic on the beltway playing the air drums on the steering wheel and singing at the top of her lungs. I sang a cappella in college so even lack of instruments won't stop me!
Social Media Marketing is my job. I really enjoy it! I am such a people person, so why wouldn't I love interacting with people all day long?! I love coming up with new content to keep the followers interested and follow industry trends. Nerd alert! Whatever, I admit it freely.
I think the best part of being alive is trying new things and exploring new areas. Recently I dabbled in bikram yoga and I bought a bike a few weeks ago. I'm going to attempt biking to and from work next week - wish me luck! I also (in a moment of craziness) signed up for a
Tough Mudder in June 2014 so I'll be starting
Crossfit in a week to start training. Thank god my sisters are doing it with me!
Well that's me in a nutshell - now that the awkward intros are over I can start writing some more interesting posts! You can also follow me on Twitter (

Although I've done a bunch of races in the past year, this is going to be my first ten miler. Whatever happens Sunday will be my benchmark. I would like to finish with a smile on my face - that's the goal! I have the worst luck with those race photos. I never seen them so I look pretty rough in most of them. Don't believe me? Here's my latest masterpiece:
