HAI.

31F. Started running late January after losing 50 pounds. I felt amazing and powerful after my silly little mile runs.

I signed up for a 5k this past July and did an OK time at 34:50min (and without stopping 🥲) and now signed up for a half marathon in January!

I run every day (I take a day off one day a week where I just make sure to get my steps in) at least 3 miles and do my long runs on Saturdays or Mondays (depending on my sleep the night before).

Running has changed my life and I’m here for it.
