My impending divorce has left my spirit shriveled and I was sick of looking in the mirror. A couple months ago I decided I wasn't going to lay down and die. I had been losing weight for months and was hovering around the 40-45 lb mark. That just wouldn't do. My goal was 70 lbs and I had to prove to myself that I wasn't the "porker" that my husband thought I was. It was time to get busy.
That's when I stumbled on a local 10 week training program offered through the Memphis Track Runner's Club. I joined the Women Run Walk Memphis Program on July 11th and my graduation race is September 17th, a week from today. I've been training hard and it's working. I can run three miles and this is just the beginning.
