Hi, I'm Chelsea. Welcome to my blog, EarlyRunner.
I arrived on the scene not tooo long ago (1982- I'll be 30 next year, eeek) in a land far away (Tallahassee, FL).
 |
| Sorry, Dad, but in 17 more years I'll be a Gator fan. |
We moved soon after I was born, and I grew up in Orlando, FL. I've always been a warm weather gal.
 |
| Love that Vitamin D. |
In addition to a wonderful mom and dad, I have a younger brother.
 |
| Wave "Hi" to the late 1980s. |
I was an active kid and played softball and did ballet and Girl Scouts.
 |
| So poofy. |
In middle school I started playing the oboe and continued through my senior year of college.
 |
| I'm right in the middle. |
I also did a stint in the marching band.
 |
| Wool uniforms. In the summer. In Florida. Why?????? |
After high school, I moved up to Gainesville to attend college at the University of Florida.
 |
| Ah, the Zook years. Still haven't completely repressed those yet. |
Along the way, I met Daniel and we got married after I finished grad school in 2006.
 |
| Quick, somebody get me a bottle of spray tanner. |
We moved out to Albuquerque where Daniel had a job and enjoyed living in the great Southwest for 2.5 years.
 |
| White Sands National Monument. Yes, it is that bright. |
But Daniel decided he wasn't quite finished with school, and in 2008 we moved to Madison, WI so he could earn his PhD in computer science.
 |
| I should have seen it coming. |
Madison is a fun city in the summer
In the winter, not so much.
I work as a statistician at UW, studying eye disease related to aging and type-1 diabetes.
 |
| What a statistician tries to sneak on a plane. |
In my spare time, I enjoy running (of course), weight training and yoga, learning to play the piano, and am active in my church.

| Post 2010 Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon. |
Thanks for stopping by!
