Importance of Listening
Professionally blogs can make you or brake you. An interesting blogger is not one that can only write well but one that can "listen." Bloggers that are in touch with their followers are more successful and generate more positive buzz.
Short and Sweet
Concise Communication:
How does a "running" mom communicate? quick and easy. Think before you speak, after you have a clear idea try to convey it in the least amount of words but with the most meaning.

Running Crazy
Hello
Running Crazy....that is what I am. I am a mom of 3 Giancarlo 15 Jacob 4 and Isabella 1 1/2. I am currently attending Kaplan University and am 7 classes away from finishing my Communication Degree. This is very exciting since it has taken me 10 years to finish. I really thought that I would be graduating with my son (almost lol)
I took up running after my son Giancarlo was diagnosed with Leukemia. He was diagnosed at age 3 and then relapsed at age 8. When he got sick the second time I decided that I had to give back so I decided to train with Team in Training (Leukemia Lymphoma Society) to run a marathon and collect funds for families that are faced with blood cancers. This is where I learned that I loved running! It was such a stress reliever to hear my foot steps on the pavement and knowing that by doing that I was making a difference. I trained for 4 months and unfortunately the day before the race my son had to be hospitalized and I was not able to run. After that I decided to have two more babies and needless to say I did not have time to run. I missed it so much that I put myself back on the list and decided to train with Team in Training again. I ran a half marathon in February and am currently training to run another half with them again in October. If you want to you can check out my fundraiser page and see the great work that this organization does.....I run to find a cure.
