    I've been using skylark94 as my internet handle since I got my first e-mail account back in 1997. My first car was a 1981 Buick Skylark and I graduated HS in 1994.

    There is someone else out there using the same handle in a few places, which can be a bit confusing.

    initial - surname. And they why not stick some numbers on the end. Seemed the logical thing to do.

    My username is my initials and my birthday is on the 23rd. I use all kinds of variations of my initials and various numbers for usernames. I just really like my initials for no particular reason. My dad when I was younger always called me CB, and it has FINALLY grown on me!

    When I created my account I worked at zappos.com which has a very unique culture and create fun and a little weirdness was one of the #1 core values expressed. So the whole warehouse worked on a superhero theme. Everyone had a superhero name on there Id badge mine was shyner because i am an extremely shy person.And being a christian I am a light shining in darkness. I have since resigned to be a stay at home mom which came from my CEO's statement of find your passion and pursue it. And I did.

    Well, I sort of needed to make my goals a reality. I had been running on and off for a while, but making it part of my username just seemed to make it more "official." I figured if people read that they would think I was a "serious" runner, so I had to live up to it! Also, I have a 2 year old, so that's where the last part comes from. We currently have another on the way, so I've taken a break from running, but I think I may use my one name change to make it "runnermomof2" :-)

    Because going on a bender has a bad connotation, and I want to change that. Why not go on a Fitness Bender instead?
