well it's been about six months since i've logged in and tracked anything. it's also been six months since i've ran consistently. today is the 1 year anniversary of starting this journey and i can say that it is still a very large part of me.
i have began a new phase to the process. may 1 i began Weight Watchers. since i began at 218 i have lost a total of 12 lbs and i'm holding steady at approx 1.5 lbs per week.
the reason that i'm logging back in to blog tonight is to rekindle the accountability i had when i began running. i have accomplished so much with this journey. i have seen so many amazing things and i have been introduced to a new community of people... which i love. my eyes have been opened to a group of people that are tough and focused and humble. i want to be that person. i want to be focused. i have not been focused at all... since December and the stresses that allowed me to justify not running i have had a hard time getting back into the swing of things.
my job has been very intense. i am so tired when i get home. i'm having a ridiculous time making time for anything other than sitting and being still. so where does that leave me? hasn't the point of this just been to make sure that i get out there and do it? so monday july 11th is the day. it was day i started last year. it was the day where i realized how hard this was going to be. it was the day where i could only run 1 minute at a time. it was the day where i really thought i was going to fail with every step... only to find out that every step is actually a victory. it was the day that turned my life around. i am a runner... i am a runner... i am a runner... yup it's time.
