Runner Runner

It all had to start somewhere and for me, the impetus was my ex-husband leaving me. I had energy to burn and a need to prove myself. Certainly not to him since he was gone, but definitely to myself.

I made an off-hand comment when talking to a sales rep at 24 Hour Fitness when I went to sign off about wanting to run a marathon one day. The girlfriend of my ex’s BFF was a marathoner and I marveled at her strength and commitment before my world came crashing down around me. It wasn’t until a few days later that I realized that I actually meant it. I emailed her for some advice and it led me to my first pair of good running shoes. Those shoes changed my life and how I thought about fitness and running. Now I have this to show you. It’s not complete because like an idiot, I didn’t update my old blog and lost a bunch of data but it’s a start until I can piece the rest of it together.

This is what I’ve done and where I’ve been, where I’m going. It’s not the sum whole of who I am and I didn’t get here alone, but it’s helped me learn just how strong I am over the last few years. This top chart is my Race PR’s (Personal Records).  They’re not spectacular, but they’re mine.
