I have been a runner for about 3 years now. I used to run about 2-3 miles EVERY day except Sunday. My friend Karie and I were so motivated! I felt so good. I lost about 30 pounds! I looked HOT.
Then she went and got married and moved 45 minutes away. I lost my running partner! I was really depressed:( I kept running, but wasn't as motivated. Soon I was pretty much just walking, but still running a few days a week.
Now fast forward a year or so. I have gained all my weight back, plus some. SUPER depressing! I signed up for a running class at my community college for FALL and now SPRING. I am back up to about 3 miles....Yay!! I still mostly run by myself, but I am feeling motivated again. I want to be healthy and lose some extra weight!
I feel so much better when I am eating right and exercising 5-6 times a week. So I am going to run this 5K and then I can say I did it!
Who knows, maybe next year, I'll be up for this:
Miracles can happen, right??
Hope your having a spectacular weekend:)

Good for you! I can only run for 1 mile straight, but I'm trying!! I'd love to be able to get to 2 miles before the school year ends.

You are a rockstar! So awesome! I am so happy you're running with me. Call me if you want a running partner... I am building up to running longer. :)
