A couple years ago, I was an obese pack-a-day smoker who couldn't run 1 full minute. This morning I woke up & ran 8.5 miles just because I can.
I'm not "done" with my journey. I'll never be done. I'll always be a work in progress, but I'm really proud of how far I've come.
That is all. : )

That's so awesome! I thought losing weight and becoming more attractive was going to be the really cool thing. Turns out it's all the things I can do now that there was NO way I could before that makes me the happiest. Mud runs, soccer, out-running my teenager, rock climbing...
Keep on runnin' girl!0 -
Just because you can! I love that! What a great attitude to have! Keep on keepin' on!0

Thanks! : )
@elothen I have teenagers, too. I used to have trouble keeping up with them, but now they can't keep up with me! My son's training for boot camp & asked to start running with me. I told him that he would have to start with my shorter runs. Haha
