Day one, blog one

Hi. I'm Terri and I've decided to join the world of blogging. My life is really nothing exceptional, just thought I would join the 21st century and blog about the things I experience and think about on a daily basis.

I suppose a good place to start would be with an explanation of my blog title....

I became a huge lover of the fun, simple and inexpensive flip flops when I moved to Arizona in March of 2008. I get quite a bit of joy from putting on a pretty pair of flip flops and painting my toenails a vibrant color. This was something I couldn't do much of while living in the mountains of Colorado for 16 years.

In the summer of 2010 at the age of 49, I decided to take up running (hence the Saucony name in the title), mostly because I rescued a boxer named Augie who needed a LOT of exercise. Our journey began with long daily walks, which turned into walk/jogs, jog/walks, walk/runs, run/walks and eventually evolved into plain ol' runs. I now officially have the running "bug" and am well on my way to running my first half marathon (on February 20, 2011) and maybe, just maybe, a marathon later in the year.

That's me in less than a nutshell. More to come later. Let the journey continue....
