So this past weekend I ran my first ever Half Marathon (2:29:40), it was hard, emotional and life changing. Who knew that running could lay your soul bare before you and let you see who you really are, but that is what this did for me. It showed me the strength of character, will and body that I have developed over the past two years, and for the first time in my life I can say that I am truly proud of the person that I have become.

I still struggle with my new body, my new life and all the stuff that comes with extreme weight loss, but with each thing I check off the list I find myself loving it all that much more.

Life as a skinny, sexy athlete is pretty effing amazing. Onward and upward, first Tri in July!

That is awesome! I am so impressed by your run and your time is great too. How long did you train and were you into exercise before you started? I really want to be able to do a 5K but have never been a runner.
