Hey all. I love reading people's success stories and despite my modest personality. I thought I'd be brave and post some photos.

I started this journey after some of my darling high school students (and fellow teachers) kept asking if I was pregnant. Which at the time was a sensitive subject because my husband and I have been having difficulties in that department.

Anywho, it was New Years and I decided I was going to run a half marathon for my resolution. So I started training and loved it!

Gosh I look miserable in the first photo...

    1st off - congrats on an amazing change, not only do you look great, but you look happy! I do hair and one of my clients asked if i was prego too. ugh, not the best moment for me. So that boosted me to change my life. Sometimes all we need is an awkward moment to push us to make huge life changes. Great job, keep up the fantastic work!

    I love that poor dog. I wish someone would take him on a walk!

    Actually, all I did was buy some 'real' running shoes and a treadmill. I ran when I could outside and on the treadmill when I couldn't.

    Nope, my Half is April 30th (yikes!). I've been running 3-4 times a week based off of Hal Higdon's training program (it's online and FREE! :) ) On my "cross-training" days I've been doing body weight exercises. Simple stuff, but it makes me feel strong!


    Thank you all so much for your kind words! This journey is so scary, it's great to have people to support you throughout the way!
