Lifestyle change

Saturday's run was great! I really got a lot of encouragement from soooo many people. Shenek (sorry if I spelled your name wrong!) thank you for rallying me to jog to the fence! I had to, especially since you were way up there in front of me and cheering me on. You really have a lot of spunk for a 19 year old! Suzanne, you always inspire me, I hope I am up and moving like you when I get your age. Amy W. , you always have a friendly smile. Brenda, you are so sweet, you always ask me about my week and seem so determined. Kelvin, you always inspire me to jog. Phil, you also inspire me to jog! Sandra, I missed talking to you Saturday. Christa, thanks for the friendly conversation. Cindy, You remember my name and always speak to me! Amy Walley, Thank you the most for joining this Marathon Makeover with me and sticking with it and encouraging me EVERYDAY!
I also thank all those friendly faces that are so nice to me each Saturday. I just wish I knew each of your names!
Mark, Robin and Scotty thank all of you for this Lifestyle Change opportunity!

I recently ended a 10 year relationship, gained 70 pounds, became a chain smoker and couch potato! BUT THEN... on January 27, 2007, I became a MARATHONER!

Since I became a member of the Marathon Makeover, I have realized that God is really in control of my life. I have met a lot of GREAT people, started eating healthy food, lost 14 pounds, quit smoking, I am no longer a couch potato, gained control of my finances, am looking to buy my own house, I cut my hair for the first time in years.
This Marathon Makeover is a Lifestyle Change! It has made me realize that I deserve to take time out of every day for myself to do something good for me.

Go ahead and say it... Boy did I ever let all my stuff out!!!

YES I DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
