Hi Shelley
My name is Kerrie and I'll be 40 this summer. I have two kids - 14 year old girl and a 9 year old boy and, yes, they are my world.

Beyond them, I enjoy working out, reading, movies, and am active in my church. We have a lot in common - I've been running for 12 years or so, but am not a natural runner either. It just has never gotten easy! But I guess that's why I still like it - probably the most efficient form of aerobics I do - and that runner's high just keeps me coming back for more! I'm pretty new to the forum, too, but welcome. I've gotten great responses so far, and look forward to chatting with you!
Kerrie
