In June 2011 I decided to partake in a journey that would change my life in ways that I could not imagine.

Running.

Heavier than I had ever been, I decided to stop playing games with myself, with my life. If I continued on the path I was on, I would be unhappy for the rest of my life. I have two beautiful little girls that deserve to have their mother around for many many many years. I want to make them proud. I want to teach them to be healthy, active, happy. I signed up for my first ever 5k, Oct 15, 2011. I downloaded the C25k app on my phone, and after summer vacation, I hit the road. At 208 lbs.

Fast forward to August 2014. Heavier than I even was before, and stopped running. Time to stop making excuses and get serious!

Weekend long run!

As you know, I didn't make any new years resolutions. I set goals. May 6th is the FRF, I am signed up for the half marathong. I am actually contemplating completing a challenge called the titanium girl, two half marathons within a week......

Anyways, today I did my longest run ever, 7 miles. And I felt awesome during it. My tuesday and Thursday runs are around my loop, for safety reasons, so they are very flat. Almost no elevation gain. So today I not only set out to complete my longest run, but to make sure I did hills. And boy did I!!!! Elevation gain was over 400 ft. And I didn't walk a single second!!! And, I felt AWESOME. I added 2 GU chomps to my run, which I am not sure if they "worked" but I did notice less of the "I'm dying" feeling.

Next weekend is a step back weekend, and it will also be in DE, so it will be pretty flat.

Now to contemplate the titanium girl......
