21 day streak!

All the little bits add up

I happily made today day #21 with a 30 minute full body workout *happy dance*

"What am I running from?

I'm running from a size 16, 14, 12...
and a number on the scale, from a lifetime of bad habits
from hating my body
from a family history of depression and obesity
from diabetes
from a genetic predisposition to heart failure.

I run.
I run from the past, from pain
from ten years of smoking, from asthma
from fallen arches
from "too old", from "too late"

I run
I run from feeling trapped, from feeling like a loser,
from past regrets, from things I wish I'd done differently

I run from the back of the pack,
from DNF,
from "you're too slow"
from "you must be crazy"
from "isn't that hard on your knees"

When I run, I run to nowhere in particular.

I run alone,
without fanfare,
without audience,
just me and the pre-dawn darkness
and my footsteps

I know I'm slow
and I run like a girl.

Try and keep up." -Unknown
