Yes…I am a very emotional creature. As I write this I have tears welling up. No, I’m not sad. I am happy. So happy. I am proud. Please know that I am not writing this for any pats on the back. I am writing this to perhaps inspire someone and let whoever they may be know that they can do this. You can loose the weight that has burdened you for however long. You can get your body in shape. It is hard work. There is no easy fix. Last night I ran 4.02 miles in 59 min. I know that compared to those junior high boys that I remember 4 miles is nothing. But for me it is something. A big something! One day I will run that marathon that I’ve always dreamed of. I will run it for nothing more than the glorious feeling I will feel at the end when I know that I have finally won the war.

Yay, Tami! I just learned that a 5K is 3 miles+some change.
(I always thought it was farther). So, you have run a 5k!!!
