4 MILES AND COUNTING

Today I re-tapped into my disciplined self. After having a total melt down last night and eating my way through half a batch of brownies, and after almost 4 months off of running on a daily basis... I gave in! I fought off temptation to give up and I went for a 4 mile run, in the snow, with a fast running friend. Simply put, it felt SOOOOOO good to be back. The difference between 220 lb. Sday and the improved 149 lb Sday? I don't give up anymore. No more self loathing and pity. Stand up and start over when I trip. The finish line isn't any further away... I just tripped. So this morning I ran myself sick and loved every second of it!

CURRENT COUNT DOWNS:
Switzerland: 13 days, 2 hours
First Triathlon: 83 days, 16 hours
First 1/2 Marathon: 4.5 months
First tournament tennis match since college tennis: When the USTA will complete my rating appeal. TBA

Post Script: I know that most normal women wouldn't dare post their weight online for an entire universe to see.... but I'm dang proud of that number because I worked my tail off to get it... and it's only going to get lower!

You are going to rock that half marathon. I can't believe you are already running 4 miles. I had not run 4 miles until about 2 months before I ran my half marathon. And I felt like my legs were going to fall off.
And good for you posting your weight. That is an amazing accomplishment.
