I am a mom of 2 girls and married for 5 years to my sweet husband. Growing up, I was always involved in sports. I was in great shape and never had weight issues. When I became pregnant with my first is when the weight issues started. And for every year since I couldn't figure out how to lose the weight. I finally have motivation and I'm finally doing what I've set out to do. I am now in training for a marathon which was something far from my comfort zone. I was NOT a runner. EVER. But through my journey, I am now. And I love it! Thank you for reading my story and please if you have any questions or need anything please feel free to email me! I hope to motive and inspire all who read my blog.

Huge Accomplishment First 2 miler!

Last week sometime, Tanner and I went running together. I normally run 2 minutes walk 1 minutes for 2 miles. Well, he and I have a 5k on Saturday so we thought we'd push ourselves a little. So we ran a full mile with no breaks. It was hard. I was dragging my feet the last quarter mile. Almost wanting to stop, but I saw Tanner in front of me so I couldn't stop. He'd tease me later. Anyway, we finished it together, than walked back home.

Well....last night I got a little confidence. On my run I decided to just TRY running the full two miles with out breaks. The first mile was surprisingly very easy. Helps that I had a wonderful ipod with great music to listen to. Really helped. As I turned to run back, I was feeling really good. Then I got to the half way point. Maddox, is the street name. Once I crossed the street all I could think of was reasons to STOP. Oh, no one's here to watch what I do. No one cares. No one....blah blah blah. NO ONE...who cares what they think. It's me and me only. I'm the fatty out of shape mommy of 2. Not everyone else. So...with a change of a song I picked up my pace as fast as I could and I fought hard to finish. As I hit the 2 mile marker I did a little celebration! It was dark out so no one could really see me. A few tears were shed and a few sweet dance moves busted out. I felt so good. So proud of myself. Never I have ran 2 miles. Always did the one mile runs in weight training. It felt even better knowing that. Yes....my time was a little long. I ran it in 25 minutes. But it's not too horrible for the first time.

I am going to push myself to run that every other day. On the days I don't run, I do weights. I did weights today and boy it felt great! Now, we'll see if I have anything left for my sand volleyball games tonight. YIKES!

I need to post about my before's still. I'm waiting cuz I'm kind of embarrassed. It's probably not a big deal because I just created this blog and I'm sure I don't have any followers. But still...give me a week and I'll post my before stats...probably not photos :)



I don't know how many times I repeated this quote on my run :)
