It started with one goal......

And, that was to get in shape...

Dee and I signed up for the Color Me Rad race to have fun, get colored, and meet new people, and what happened was I got inspired to keep on, keepin' on. Since that race, I have done 5 more, and I am signed up for 3 more, with the possibility of doing 4 more over the summer. I said to myself, even if I only do half of them I will be happy. I told myself to not overdo it, and (I have! But it is okay!) and I also told myself to just do what I could. I have been amazed at what my body has done. No..I am not instantly skinny. In fact, I am the same weight. No..I am not toned up..yet..but I am getting there. I started off not being able to run, and guess what? I can run now. I walk for 5 minutes, run for 2..and I don't do it every race, but each time, I am increasing my time, more and more. I am proud of myself, and this is a shameless boast of a post to show you all how far one can go when you set your mind to accomplish a goal. I am fitting in my clothes so much better, and I know that one day that weight will just fall off, so I just keep at it. My kids ask me every weekend which race I am doing now, and what the race is benefiting. They know that each time I run out, it is for a cause..I can do this, and I will keep doing it to show how much difference this is making in my life.
