I've always loved running. As a kid, I ran cross country and track. I wasn't always awesome at it.. I mean, I made championships and stuff but I never placed at them. But I loved the feeling of running and the high I would get after completing whatever goal I set for myself.
Now that I'm officially 23 lbs lighter, running is so much easier than my previous attempts in the past year. I'm still not awesome (currently a 9 min. mile), but at least I can improve from here. At least, this time, I know I can do it. My knees aren't bothering me. I don't have to stop because of a breathing issue. I'm actually running. It feels soooo fantastic.
