… and I lived to blog about it

Well, I certainly didn’t waste any time with my hours-old goal. Just got in from my first-ever official walk/jog/run combo — and first-exercise-except-tennis-or-Wii-games in a long time.

I am still in my running hoodie and yoga pants, panting hard, but wanted to record my observations for posterity:
  • Ears are hurting badly — is this normal? Is it the cold air, or is this some kind of running side effect?
  • Breathing is ragged
  • Feel gross and sweaty
  • Running down the hills was great, but it made my shins hurt — again, normal?
  • Darling Husband is much faster than me …
  • … and so is Little Dog.
  • I have an extremely … flighty … run. Arms sort of flailing, ponytail bobbing like crazy.
Kind of like someone I once knew …

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m a writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 12-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep them from taking over my life. Creating things helps.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time with her writing. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
