OK, I am so not the type of person to blog about me but this post is going to be about ME!! My little story begins almost a year ago (which is totally crazy that it has been a year) when I had my little Sophie, well before I had Sophie. As we all know I was pregnant and HUGE. No thanks to me and toxemia. None the less I was HUGE. So after having Sophie, I was desperate to lose the pounds that I had so quickly put on. So my sweet friend dragged me out for black Friday and I purchased a treadmill and started my attempt at losing the pounds. So around Christmas that same friend signed me up for a half marathon. I thought "Yea right, like I will be able to run 13 miles!" Well I accomplished that goal and in May I ran the Ogden Marathon. Then my cousin called and wanted me to run in a relay from Logan to Jackson Hole. Again, "YEA Right!" Well Friday I actually did it. It was so hard and so fun at the same time. And it two weeks I am running my second half marathon. I must say I never ever imagined that I would become a little runner but there is something that feels so good when you are done and you know what you have accomplished. Well that is my storey of how a very overweight girl got her grove back and ended up loving something in the end.

I was hesitant to post this picture but you really needed to see just how big I really was!!!! It still blows me away when I see myself. The saddest part of this is that Sophie was only a 2 lb baby!!! Really come on!

Starting the race.

Scary!!!! This was my night run and boy do I look horrible. We had to wear all that gear and I look ridiculous.

Finally my last run and was I wanting to cry! My legs could hardly carry me. I felt like I was dragging 500 pounds. But I finished all my legs in under a 10 min. mile and I must say I am proud of that. (Sorry about the sideways picture I can not for the life of me turn the dang thing.) Well that is the end of me talking about me!
