Introducing me

Hi, my name is Lorenda!
I'm in college to change careers.  I am working toward becoming a Respiratory Therapist.  I am currently an EMT-Specialist and work on an ambulance.
My daughter and I are both in this class.  She is a student at Central Michigan University and is taking two classes at JCC this summer. 
This is my fifth semester.  I am working part time and going to college part time.  I started a blog shortly after making the decision to go back to school as a way to reflect on the craziness of going to college, working part time and keeping up with my favorite activity, running, so I have been blogging for awhile.
I love running!  I am running a marathon on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend in Traverse City.  I decided to do this marathon last November and signed up in January.  It is hard to believe that it is now only 6 days away!  It was a long winter.  After the marathon I will take it easy for a few weeks and recover and then I will begin training for my next marathon which will be October 17th in Grand Rapids.  I ran the Grand Rapids marathon two years ago and am excited to run it again.
I also enjoy biking and kayaking.  I love reading although I have not had much time to read books since I've been going to college.  I am looking forward to reading books again after I graduate.  
I have been thinking about the topics that I will write my papers on.  I will be writing about health related topics.  I may write one of them on running and it's health benefits.

See you in class on Tuesday!!
