A term I would have never used to describe myself 3 months ago! Erin motivated me in January to start running with her in hopes that we would run the OKC Memorial half marathon together. In January, I was thinking, "there is no way I will be able to run 3 miles much less 13!" I stuck with our training schedule, however, and began to find myself looking forward to hitting my next milestone run! It has kind of become addictive. I began in hopes of taking off the last bit of baby weight (if you can even call it that after 9 months:)) and to jump myself into bikini season without feeling horrible about myself! I never realized that I would aquire a competitive spirit with running.
Anyhow, our first "official" run was this last Sunday for the Red Bud Classic 10K (which is 6 miles). It was a beautiful sunny day with a light breeze great for running! I finished in 1:20 and am so pumped to be able to add runner to my resume! Garrett and Cruz were even there to cheer me across the finish line! I loved every minute of it! Now I'm totally excited about upping my training and gearing up for the OKC Memorial on May 1st!

Good for you, I keep telling myself I will become a "runner" to loose weight and as a release, time to think!
