Who are Chica and Bella?
No, we are not a pair of llamas (one of the things you will come across if you do a google search) nor a pair of fluffy dogs (yes, another google search result). We are a pair of girlfriends who decided that we would go through the Couch to 5K program and then somehow it turned into training for a half marathon. We are not super athletes, one is a full-time student/wife and the other a full-time homeschooling mom/wife. We've never run more than a couple of miles at a time and much less completed a marathon. We started out in "okay" shape and weight and we both have super busy lives. We struggle some days, some days are fantastic, sometimes we eat really healthy and sometimes that cheesecake calls our name and we answer. We have our ups and we have our downs, but for the first time in our lives we are really determined to get healthy, get fit(ter) and run a half-marathon.
But, why with the name Chica and Bella?
They are kinda pet names, its how we address each other sometimes. We currently live on the Island of Enchantment (a.k.a. Puerto Rico) and it is very common to hear even strangers call you sweet pet names like these. For the purpose of this blog the full-time student/wife will be Chica and the homeschooling mom/wife will be Bella. As a side note, Chica is indeed very Bella and Bella is very much a Chica!!!
Why a blog?
Accountability, why else?! Bella decided it would be a great idea to put ourselves out there for the world to follow us through every step of this journey. For those of you who know us personally, you know that this journey will be above all else, super interesting and slightly crazy!
So...enjoy, not enjoy - we are still gonna kick ass nevertheless!
Love&Hugs,
Chica and Bella
