Its true you are who you believe you are. And today I can say that I am a RUNNER and an ATHLETE. Today was my first run off a track and on the streets of Colorado. I've been dreading this run all week. I've never liked running in public. I blame that on my fat girl mentality. lol. Anyhow, I got ready right away and headed out the door with butterflies in my stomach.
I walked down my steep street and as soon as I turned that corner I was jogging. I'm new to the city so I didn't really have any path in mind I just knew I had to complete 4 miles. So I ran and I ran and...I ran. There were lots and lots of hills and honestly I wanted to quit on some of those hills but I didn't. When I finally reached home I had ran 4.8 miles in 42 minutes. Not only did I run faster then I had on a track, but I ran way further then I thought I could ever run in my life.
There is no way to describe the pride I feel inside my heart. I have overcome so much to be where I am. Although I still have a long way to go on my weight loss journey, there comes a point where the numbers on the scale don't matter as much as what I can accomplish on my runs or workouts. Bob Harper had a quote that said it all today "
