I promised myself once I hit 50 lbs lost OR once I completed my first half marathon I would get a tattoo to honor and remember my journey of the past year. Well, as of yesterday I am at 48 lbs lost and I ran my half yesterday so.......here it is! My tattoo :) The right foot says "believe you can...." the left foot says "....and you will".

**Sorry for the lack of a pedicure. I ran my race, came home and showered then went straight to the tattoo shop LOL

    Looks great. Would never get a tattoo myself, but I love tattoos with meaning and I love what you've achieved. Oh, and the t-shirt.

    Great tattoo, you need a 13.1 on the back of your calf to psyche out the runners behind you! :laugh:

    Nope not at all :) I expected it to hurt so much worse then it actually did. I have 6 other tattoos but I always heard feet hurt!!! It wasn't bad though!

    Thanks everyone!!!!! The tattoo artist said no sneakers for 3 days :/ I had to cancel my hiking plans for the day but I'm counting down the days to run again lol. It's worth it though, so worth it!
