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.

Weekly Miles

I want to start tracking my weekly miles. I want to put times down as well, but I'm not consistent with timing yet. Right now with how many miles we are running, we are just trying to get them in. Anyway, these miles are from a week ago. First week I ran more than 15 miles! Pretty huge!

Monday- off
Tuesday- 5
Wednesday- 5
Thursday 5
Friday- Off
Saturday- 9!!
Total Miles- 24!

Saturday was the first high miles run since my half marathon in January. It felt great! Killer with the hills we ran! But it was awesome!

On Monday I'm going to help my sister-in-law start running! I will be posting those miles/times daily. Now that I'm back on facebook, I've had many friends comment or email me asking how to start or saying they want/need to start. I'm going to be doing with my sister-in-law the exact plan I followed! So maybe me posting in on here with help my friends know where to start.

I honestly love the feedback I'm getting. It's really inspiring ME! I've been really into personal training, or more so helping someone train, and I feel that is what I get to do with this blog. Maybe when my kids get older and I go back to work, I'll take on real personal training.

Well that's all for now. I'll make my "Weekly Miles" posts on Sundays and hopefully keep track of them better! I wish I would have written down my weekly miles before even running my half marathon. Would have been fun to see what I was doing. I can't really remember now. I know that I didn't run anything over 7 miles until 2 weeks before my marathon when I ran a 10 miler. But that's all I can really remember.

**To those of you who recently found my blog, anyone can do this! I started out NEVER having ran more than a mile. And then starting out in October 2011 I ran and walked two miles three times a week. That was 6 months ago and now I'm fully running 25 miles a week. It's an incredible journey and with a little determination, dedication, and discipline anything can be accomplished.
