What a great story! You are such an inspiration! You look awesome!
I ran my first half marathon in 2009 and it was such an amazing experience. It was something I never dreamed I was capable of. Recently stress has taken over and I have put back on some weight. I'm committed to getting back into shape and getting back into running.

thanks everyone My colar bones are one of my fav features now lol .... I do have quite a belly pooch still but it doesn't show so much in that photo. I estimate 10-15 pounds and it will be (mostly) gone. I also carry most of my weight from the middle, down and am thinner on top than on the bottom, so i need to start working on toning my arms while still working on losing what remains of my excess belly, butt and leg fat.

As for hiking, i do my high peaks hikes without my kids (3 & 6) but hope to take my older son with me this year on some smaller local hikes. He got a Camelbak from my mom for his birthday and he is very excited to climb a local mountain named "Sleeping Beauty" I hike the big mountains with hiker pals and leave the kiddos with my non-hiking hubby :P
