So it's official... I've made it to the top 100! I'm so excited that the judges reviewed my submission and felt it was worthy of moving on to the next stage... So instead of just asking everyone for my votes for the next 25 days, I wanted to let you all be a part of my journey... See my accomplishments, my struggles and everything else in between. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you! I won't say it was easy to get here or to maintain, but it's so worth it!

AuthorTipping the scales at 302lbs was the turning point for me. Running has been a key contributor to my weight loss success and improving my overall health and well being. Starting in August of 2014, I worked through a couch to 5k program. The following spring, I decided I wanted to train for and complete a 10k in 2015. My training went so well, I ran my first half instead in September of 2015 finishing in 2:14:00. In October, I volunteered at the Chicago Marathon which was an amazing experience and made me decide to train for a marathon. I trained through winter and completed my second half marathon April of 2016 improving my time to 1:47:00! With the help of friends, co-workers and most recently a running group, I will actually run 2 marathons this fall. Special thanks to my friend George, the Molex Running Team and Glen Ellyn Running club for your support! By the way, in the process I've lost almost 130 lbs. Running saved my life! Archives |
