      Answers to your questions:

      I'm 31 years old (just added this into the original post)

      I started out walking. Slowly. Painfully slowly. Currently, I run anywhere from 3-10 miles per day. I've only done 8, 9, and 10 mile runs a handful of times. I'd say my average is more like 4-5 miles a day.

      Where do I find the time? My local YMCA offers 2 hours of daily babysitting as part of the family membership. I take FULL advantage of that. I recently had a friend ask me if I feel guilty putting the kids in childcare daily so I can exercise. My answer was not at ALL. And I followed up by saying I'd feel a heck of a lot more guilty if I died of a heart attack at age 40, leaving them motherless.

      You've been such an inspiration. It's only been in the last few days that I've let go of the guilt of putting the kids into the play area every day. It's actually great for all of us, since the child area is so darn fancy at our gym, the kids WANT to go.

      Let's see. A year ago this week I had a debilitating spinal cord injury due to a herniated disc. I had emergency surgery and was in a rehab hospital for almost a month because I was paralyzed from the waist down. It's a miracle I regained sensation as much as I have. The neurosurgeon said the best way to prevent this from happening again is to lose weight and strengthen my core. So I took him VERY seriously.

      The first day I walked a quarter mile around my neighborhood, with a CANE! I just kept at it, every single day. Walking longer, farther, faster, adding in jogging after a few months, then walking with running, and now full on running.

      The key for me has been consistency.


      So inspiring! Congrats!!

      These are the pictures that inspire me
      This is a story that inspires me

      I am always tempted to take pictures and stories like this to hand them out to friends and family even strangers in a restaurant

      wait, they will tell me that I need to remove the tree out of my eye before I talk about their splinter...

      Godd job, happy for you
