    Oh my...this totally made me cry! I changed it up for me at Bikram yoga. I am embarrassed; I can barely look myself at myself in the mirror, can barely do the poses, have to lay down for some of the time, want to leave so badly that I have to physically hold myself down, want to cry because it's so hard and I feel like I'll never be able to grab my leg, and I'm so hot, that even my eyeballs are sweating.

    But I'm there. I'm present. I'm in the moment. And someday, I won't have to lay down. Someday, I'll be able to grab my foot. Someday, I'll do every pose. Someday, I won't cry. Someday I'll catch my own eye and smile.

    That blog post made me cry..in a good way.

    I am trying to build up the courage to move away from my treadmill and start running outside the house but I am dreading the looks and comments about running (slowly and red faced) That blog post gives me hope :)

    Really? What kind of person does that? I'm out around other people running/walking all the time and I don't ever remember thinking anything other than positive thoughts about them - like we are on the same team. So even if there are a few scoffers (and, believe me, life has a way of catching up to them eventually!), there are many more runners that started just like you!
