Like I said before, I started this journey with the hopes of losing a little weight to get healthier, but it has now become a way of life, a start to a new world. My life has been turned around. Since the start of my weight loss, I have grown to love running. I started by running/walking a mile lap until I was able to complete one whole lap! I was 340 lbs when I was able to complete my first lap without stopping. My knees and feet hurt, and it seemed like I had just run a marathon, and in fact, once I completed the entire mile, that is exactly what it was. It was the start of my marathon.
Since that day that I completed that one full mile, I have fell in love with running. I started by entering a July 4th 10K and then went on to a 5K race. Just recently, this past October, I just completed a Half-Marathon!! Until this year, I have never entered in a race nor did I think that I could even do one. I just registered for the Kentucky Derby Festival Marathon in April and also have my fingers crossed to get a spot to run the Chicago marathon next year!
I just wanted to share some tidbits about me...
