Win a Headsweats trucker hat for Global Running Day!

Hello all! I’m still here. More on this later…keep reading. I’m coming at you to talk about Global Running Day aka National Running Day! It’s time to get out and celebrate running.

I needed the #walk today. Not in a great mood but fresh air helps clear the mind. #fitfam #fitness #fitfluential #sweatpink #fitspo #inspiration #weightloss #weightlossjourney #webeatfat #mizuno #walking #fitgirl #cardio #fitbit

I haven’t been running much lately. I’ve been doing a lot of walking. Walking is really great, but I would rather be running. Running has my heart and I can’t wait to get back to it! Running has changed my life in so many positive ways. It’s one of the reasons I love to share our weight loss story because the weight loss opened my world up to so many new possibilities.

I’ve gotten to run the roads of the many of the United States and I’ve even gotten to see the world and run the Great Wall of China. Running has made me a better person.

In honor of Global Running Day it would be super great if you donated a few dollars to Team Healthy Kids! This is great organization that wants to make the future of America stronger by mobilizing “school professionals, families and communities to take actions that lead to healthy eating, physical activity and healthier schools where kids thrive.” Drop a donation in the jar. It would be greatly appreciated.

Ok here’s the sidenote:  I’ve been absent from the blog lately because I’ve been really busy.  The blog has always been my first priority but lately it’s taken a back seat.  Also, I don’t feel like a cool kid because I haven’t been running which has left me a little lost.  I have some projects that I’m working on and I can’t wait to be able to share those with you in the near future.  There are great things coming!

How are you celebrating Global Running Day?

Happy National Running Day!

Happy National Running Day!

It’s National Running Day! It’s no secret that I L-O-V-E to run so it’s pretty much certain I’ll be celebrating this day.  So how am I going to celebrate?  I’ll definitely go for a run with the running group this evening. If you would like to help me celebrate National Running Day you can by donating to my Team Healthy Kids fundraising efforts. A couple of years ago I posted why I run.  I can’t believe I can say a couple of years ago when talking about running.  Who would have thought this girl would be running?  I still haven’t really…

Happy National Running Day

It’s a day to celebrate running and we all know how much I love running! I thought I would start off the day the right way by working out. I went to Group Power and then I came home to put on a running shirt. I had too many decisions. I didn’t know which one to wear. I chose The Louisiana Marathon shirt because it was my first marathon and it’s my favorite race of the entire year! This is the part why I tell you why I love to run. I run because it makes me believe what I…

I run because…

Today is National Running Day!  What a great day to celebrate running and why people choose to run. I’ve never really talked about why I run so this gives me the perfect opportunity to tell the world.  In 2013, I’ve run five half marathons, two 10Ks, one 10 milers, one 5K and logged many miles on the road in my free time.  This year I became a runner! I run for many reasons.  I run because I never thought I would be able to because of my weight.  I never thought I would shed the weight and be able to…
