Why Me?

My sister encouraged me to start a blog. She has been keeping up with one faithfully for the last couple months and has really enjoyed it. She blogs about being a mom and raising two little boys. I love reading her blog, but I just don't think blogging about that sort of thing would be as interesting coming from me. So, instead I have decided to blog about something much different. Something that really hits my heart....fitness and finances!

So your probably thinking, what do these two things have in common and why am i compelled to write about them? Well, I love running and staying healthy. I love money. And, I love analyzing things.  I figured if I am going to go through all this trouble analyzing weird things, I might as well  spread the wealth and share my insight. You may or may not find it useful....my hope is that you'll at least find it interesting!

When you first hear the word 'fitness' you instantly think of going to the gym. But, I also think of the term "financial fitness" which has been used by many in the financial community to describe a sound personal financial standing.

To give myself some credibility for writing this blog, I will start by saying that I graduated Montana State University with a Bachelors of Science in Accounting and a Bachelors of Science in Management. To further qualify myself, I am a professional Certified Managerial Accountant. One the personal health and fitness side of this things, I have ran 4 marathons and 2 half marathons in the last 2 years. So you will probably see me relate a lot of things to running as my blog progresses. Enjoy!
