Currently, my new favorite workout is running! It is hard, and most of the time I want to quit, but I make it through and want to come back for more. I began doing the C25K training program in August of 2012, and I just finished my first 5K race, on 10/21/12. I hit all the goals I had for myself, and I am continuing on with running, training for a 10K using the same program. And, if I can do it, anyone can! I always told myself I could not be a runner, though inside I longed to be, and now ...

Currently, my new favorite workout is running! It is hard, and most of the time I want to quit, but I make it through and want to come back for more. I began doing the C25K training program in August of 2012, and I just finished my first 5K race, on 10/21/12. I hit all the goals I had for myself, and I am continuing on with running, training for a 10K using the same program. And, if I can do it, anyone can! I always told myself I could not be a runner, though inside I longed to be, and now I am! I don't run particularly fast, but one of my favorite quotes is this : "no matter how slow I go, I am still lapping everyone on the couch"!

Sparkpeople has been so great for tracking my journey. If I can't see it, how can I know where I am at with my goals? I also look forward to the community interaction here too, and often am inspired by others. I am a beautiful, fun-loving woman, but my weight sometimes holds me back, although I am pretty comfortable in my own skin. I want to be more fit and strong, not skinny, but healthy.

I came back from a Hawaiian vacation in mid-October, and I rocked a two-piece the entire time I was there. I was proud of myself for having the confidence to do so, though I am not nearly to my perfect body...yet! I am continuing on this journey to get more and more fit, and to be the best version of myself!
