From Cakes to Crumbs...

I'm new here (obviously) and starting the C25K program-

All my life I have wanted to be a runner, but never could. This time, I'm not letting anything get in my way.

After watching my four month old daughter battle cancer (neuroblastoma, stage 4), I have NO EXCUSE not to get off my butt and accomplish my goal.

If she can fight this life altering disease, I can run.

And if I lose some weight along the way, even better!

    First of all, congratulations on beginning your journey. You can do it!

    What an inspiration your young daughter is! Your daughter is such a source of strength and encouragment even being so little, and she has my prayers. The picture on your ticker is precious!!

    You can be a runner! Good for you committing to it! Just keep going when it gets hard (not matter how cold it is or tired you are :D) and see every opporunity to run is a blessing! If you ever need some encouragement it's just a post away!

    Continue on this journey and I hope you find all the success you are looking for (and maybe begin to LOVE running, I know i did!). What an inspiration YOU will be to your daughters! Best of Luck! :)
