About Amanda

Welcome to There Are Two Sides, my name is Amanda Schwartz.
I just turned 30 in September, 2011 and I am pretty sure that life will get much better from here on out.  Right?  RIGHT?

I give to you what I can offer on my blog…run on sentences, over use of commas, lots of swearing and my dislike for most things.

I live in NW Ohio and generally love the area.
I also happen to live in the 6th flattest county in the USA, hills have been extinct here since the ice age.  I am divorced and living in a lot of sin.  It seems to ooze from my pours on most days.
Jeff is a giant and he has two giant kids, Carah (age 7) and Brady (age 4).  I don’t have any of my own but my cats think I am pretty cool when they aren’t puking.

Occasionally I may talking about eating healthy or not so healthy, running, the people in my life and marshmallows.  I am a new-ish runner, started at the end of 2010, and I ran my first half marathon in April 2011.  Got a medal and everything.  I am what I like to call a slow runner.  Or jogger.  But jogger doesn’t have the adventurous ring to it that runner has.  So I stick with slow runner.  I have a few more races planned for this year, too.  I am going to try to be a less-slow runner.

I like to tell you about everything that is going on in my life.  Over-sharing seems to be what gets me through the day.  It also gets me some scary looks from strangers and my family.

I was recently named the FitFluential Ambassador for Toledo, Ohio.

Working full time, running a family part time and trying to blog all about it wear me out…wine and fruit roll ups get me through it all.
