A new start...

Hello Friends!

The reason why I have decided to start blogging is because I have a new passion ...RUNNING! I have always played soccer ever since I was 3 years old. I still love soccer and it is my "true" passion. I am very active in the community where I live with soccer. I work for CYSL and coach multiple teams for First Capital Futbol Club...which I love to do!!

The reason why I am calling my blog New Passion- Old desire is because ever since I was in 7th grade I have always wanted to run for my school. I begged my parents multiple times if I could run in Middle school and in High school. They always insisted that I was doing a lot of activities...I played select soccer, AAU basketball, and played for my school in both sports. Also, my academics were very important! So, unfortunately I never got the chance to ever run on a "team". Just a quick fact (playing soccer you run anywhere between 5-10 miles a game depending on the position that you play).

The person that really got me into running was my husband, Keegan Rathkamp, he is a collegiate runner at Shawnee State University. He is someone I really look up to because , well, he is ....AWESOME!

So...if you decide to follow me this blog will be about my awesome life and journey to becoming a true runner and hopefully someday pretty decent!! The race that I am looking forward to doing is the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving day...here in Chillicothe, Ohio!

Today I am running with Keegan and we are doing a 5k time trial. Then I will end the night with some yoga...Namaste
