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!

Updates

This past Sunday I did the Penguin Pace 5k, which was a great run. The beginning was downhill, and even though I had never run the race, I quickly figured out we would be going back up the hill in the last mile! I still had a PR despite the hills, and finished in 28:29. I am not sure when my next 5k will be, but I am hoping the next one will be under 28.

I have been adding more races to my schedule for 2012. I am excited about many of them!!!!! Heres what it looks like so far....
