I am a runner, I run

I have been on my quest for better health for over a year now. (shouldn't that mean I should look like Victoria Beckham by now!?)

I have to admit the going was slow at first. I had/have some dear friends back in CT that decided that we should all make a "Biggest Looser" group. There ended up being about 8 of us. We divided into color teams and everything. We did our weigh ins every Sunday night, with the loosing group from the week before making everyone dinner. We had such a great time.

I started as the heaviest of the group. I was embarrassed the first time I got on that scale. But I am happy to say that I was the ONLY one out of all 8 that never gained anything the whole 6 months that we did that.

Fast forward another 4 months and I am here in UT and I hire a personal trainer. I cannot tell you what a wonderful investment this has been for me. I can run now. I know that doesn't seem like a big deal, but it is HUGE for me. I started doing this whole thing to look better in pictures for Clayton and Anna's wedding. But then I heard of this 5k in SLC and I wanted to make that my goal. I am 3 weeks away from the 5k. And I think I am going to make it. This has been a really great journey. I have discovered things about myself that I didn't know before. And I am proud of myself.

I will keep you posted over the next 3 weeks about how things are going, and my feeling as I get closer to my race.
