Introduction Text My New MOTTO: Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up. ~Dean Karnazes I started my journey in April of 2010 I worked hard and with the help of my friends and sparks page I have lost 50 lb. I am getting healthy and fit. It is the most wonderful feeling. It is truly a life changing experience. My family and my inner strength is my inspiratiion and motivation. I am going to live a long and happy life, I am able to run with and chase my grandchildren - yes I have a grandson and a granddaughter. I am showing my own children a better me and a healthy way to live. Less then a year ago I wrote that I WANTED to do all these things and I am here today saying I AM doing these things. It can be done with hard work, determination, support and motivation. I started a journey that is taking me to new heights and I am loving it more and more each day. One of my goals for 2010 was to complete a 5K. I DID IT. I not only did it but did it in 45.37 min. I have never been more proud of myself in my life. Crossing the finish line gives you this incredible feeling of wanting to do it again and again. I did a second 5K in February in less time. I have 3 scheduled in May. My goal is to run a 1/2 marathon and do the MUDD Run in 2012! This summer(another I am) I am taking my kids to the beach and will not be embarrassed to be seen in a swimsuit. I live at the beach and have not been seen at the beach in a bating suit in 9 years. I always took them to my inlaws pool. Not this year. I am taking back my beach back! Watch out 2011 here I come!
