So I've clearly fell off of the blog wagon again! Do I care, not really sure since I don't have any followers. But here goes again: Here's a little soapbox moment I had yesterday morning when a very relevant question was asked in a challenge group I'm in, the question/post was not directed at me but I had an answer of course. A short synopsis of the post was "Let me ask, why do you do this to yourself?"

For me personally I Run To Save My Life.. I started this journey 1 1/2 years ago at 245lbs with no natural athletic bone in my body. It is hard every time I go out there but you know what it's worth the struggle knowing I get better with every step I take, I get stronger with every wall I break through, I find ME a little more that has been trapped in this overweight body every time I cross that finish line knowing on my own two feet I DID THAT! I hurt, I whine, I'm tired, I take my rest when I know my body and mind need it, I push through, I soldier on, I revel in the accomplishment. I raise my arms high in the air thanking whoever I need to thank for my next breath. I have lost over 50lbs in this struggle and I will continue on!! If you ever see me in a race notice with every grimace I may make my laughter will be louder, my pride will shine, and I'll dance this dance till I can't anymore.
