Heather's Story: I
started my journey 6 years ago. I was overweight and tired of my pants not
fitting. I joined a gym and started working out. I had been working out for
about three months. I would do the elliptical and some light weights. One day
all the machines were taken and I was stuck with a treadmill. I decided to run.
This was the first time I ran a mile since high school. I thought I was going
to die! It hurt so bad, and it took me forever to finish. I had such bad shin
splints I had to wait for them to go away before I could drive home. Something
ignited inside of me, despite the pain I went back the next day and did it all
over again. Eventually it got easier. I started losing weight and felt good
about myself. I started counting my calories and began to lose even more
weight. Six years and a baby later I have kept 20 lbs. off! I ran 3 miles every
other day for 5 years! A year ago after I had my baby I wanted to meet new
people in our community. I decided to join a running club since I loved running
so much. I met so many incredible people and that it added fuel to my passion
and I became a long distance runner. In the last year I have ran a marathon, 5
half marathons with a PR of 1:45:26 and a handful of 10 and 5k's. My focus
isn't so much on calories anymore as it is on nutrition. I love how good eating
healthy makes me feel that I want to share it with others. This is my story and
I hope you continue my journey with me and share yours as well.
