For those of you that know me....I am not a writer. I don't really like writing, journaling, or any of the other things that a blog is all about!
My running friends encouraged me to start a blog about my journey. They said that I inspire them and can inspire others with my story... I started running about a year ago to help me lose weight. It seemed like everyone was doing it and I had some great people that helped me along the way. The walking, to run/walk, to running a 5K, then 10K and soon a 15K (in two weeks!) has morphed my confidence in what I stand for...that's what this is all about.
I am 38 years old...40 is upon me and I am determined to complete 40 races by the time I turn 40. My starting race includes my FIRST 5K in Charleston, SC. I didn't think I could even finish. I found that encouraging other racers who were struggling along with me was the key. I have completed a couple of other races this year. I joined the running club in my area...but I am still to chicken to go. I have signed up for the Charleston Half Marathon in January 2015 ( #firstsisterrun)...and my running friends have talked about what other races (including destination races) we can do this year. I want to keep the momentum, restore my confidence in myself, and continue to foster the relationship that I am making.
This blog is not just about me...it's my journey...there are so many things in the past 10, ok maybe 20, years that have lead me to who I am, what I stand for, and where I am going.
