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!

Struggling.....

I sit here struggling to explain why once again I have failed.  I posted that I was going to start running again, that I was going to complete the BRF 5k this year.  But I didn't.  I've run here and there, and I can make excuses as to why I have been slower, but they are just excuses.  The last two weeks I have actually run more frequently, although not frequently enough.  So now I have officially registered for a 5 mile race on December 13, 2014.  I ran this same race in 2011 and loved it & the premium, so I am pretty excited about it.  I am most likely going to need to walk some of it, but hey, I registered and I will complete it!  I'm not waiting that money!

AND I registered for the Ocean City Half Marathon on May 2, 2015.  Roughly 6 months away!  I am excited!!!!

I visited the running store and got my custom insoles today, which helped so much when I ran before!

One step at a time!
