Welcome
Aging isn't for sissies, yet celebrities make it look easy with their frozen foreheads and state-of-the-art boobs.
That’s why I wanted to qualify for the Boston Marathon — to kick the idea of aging in the butt.
Hi! My name is Danica. Think of me of as the "Rudy” of bloggers. I do not claim to be the fastest or the strongest runner out there, but my heart is in it with every step.
I’m a writer, runner, blogger, mother, wife, former newspaper journalist and an RRCA-certified running coach.
In my old life I wrote about cutting-edge science, spy investigations and wildfires at The Los Alamos Monitor (New Mexico), and I polished up other people’s words for The Rocky Mountain News.
That was a few years ago. Then I had a baby … not a lobotomy.
OK, so I had a couple of them … babies that is, not lobotomies.
Today I’m a busy mom raising two children, “Tarzan" and "Jane,” and I’m a working writer crafting my destiny.
Boston or Botox, the blog, chronicles my journey to the starting line of Hopkinton, before and after. (I qualified for Boston on Dec. 6, 2009, at the California International Marathon, and I ran Boston on April 18, 2011.)
This blog also shares the midlife triumphs of other women who’ve done it, too.
What I believe you will find: Insights, humor, and inspiration.
Enough said. No wimping out. It’s time for a run.
