I have found in my year 1/2 of running I have ran into many questions and many self doubts as I have gone through this journey. My journey still continues as I strive to work towards my running goals, work, take care of 3 kids, keep up on the house and the many other things that get in our way everyday. January of 2010 was the year I turned 30 (oh no not 30). At that time I felt like I was at my lowest point with myself. I hated how I looked I hated how I felt and in turn I found myself being very judgmental towards others, very unhappy, and short with my family and friends. I was spiraling out of control. At that moment I knew I needed to take matters into my own hands. As I sat there trying to figure out how I was going to get out of this funk the self doubt started creeping in. "Do you know how many times you started a diet and didn't finish." "Do you know how many different workout videos you've purchased and have never done them." "Do you know how much money you have spent on gym memberships and never gone." I stopped for a moment and said out loud. "I can do this!" Instantly I flushed those negative thoughts and continued to plan. To be continued......
