I guess I realized this a few days ago but tonight was the first time I said it out loud which made it feel real. I have been a runner for two freaking years:) It's hard for me to wrap my head around that right now. I remember my beginner clinic like it was yesterday. I am a very visual person and have an amazing (annoyingly amazing sometimes) memory. When I think about those first runs I can picture the routes, smell the smells and hear the sounds. They are some of my fondest memories. They are life changing memories really. When I walked through the door that first night I would never have imagined I would be where I am today. I couldn't have even began to think that I would have run a half marathon or that I would be considering doing another. This is the first time in my life that I have stuck with any exercise routine. I will never be able to say exactly what has happened this time but whatever it is I'm so thankful that it's happened. I have never felt this good about myself. I've gained so much confidence over the past two years. I feel like I have a whole new outlook on life. I'm just so damned happy that I made that first step through the door.
I'm so happy for you! Congratulations! Keep it up! :)
