Well my 2013 race schedule is done and this is my end of the year review! First I want to say that I am so happy I joined this group, all the posts keep me inspired! This has been a busy 2013 and my last race should have been Dallas Marathon! I've ran 26 bibbed races, 11 of those were half marathons. It's not all about the bling, it's personal. Thinking back to 2012 when I was still trying to get my weight under control and 2011 when I started my weight loss journey I never thought 2013 would look like this. I have come a long ways and very proud of my accomplishments. I throughly enjoy working out and running. The day I see my old ortho dr and tell him he was so wrong will be a great day for me and I will find him!People tell me all the time that I need to find other things to do, but this is me and it fits me so well. I am blessed, have been inspired by others, I have inspired others and I have a testimony. I've broken that "can't lose weight" chain, I've done more than I could ever imagine and I am NOT done yet. I have so many people to credit for this. I've lost 123lbs, dropped 8 dress sizes and I've kept it off. I'm still the same person, but a much healthier & happier person. I've learned so much through everyone who has helped me along the way and now I do not require someone to tell me what to do.
I look forward to 2014. I am getting my Run Coach Certification, plan to become a MM by March, join 50 states Club, many many more races to come and a few surprises. So I challenge all of you to not give up and do the right thing for you. Don't compare yourself to others, but write down some reasonable goals and beat them. Don't wait till Jan 1 to start, start NOW. Don't ever say you can't because you can, have to believe in yourself first!
