Fit 2 B Tight: Evolution of a runner

So it took me a long time to be able to say that I am a runner, I think in a round about way I still don't really think of myself as one. I mean I run and have run races but when I see people out there every day running circles around me it can be a bit defeating. My husband posted something on my Facebook the other day and well, it really made me smile!

The first two are so heart pounding true! I am not the same as anybody and I have worked my butt off (literally) to be able and say I AM A RUNNER!!

I took up running for fun/ social aspect of a 5K. I had always heard about them and I really wanted to try. My first one was a Mud Run and let me tell you, that s#@t was hard, Not only was it a mud run but a military style obstacle course. Oh my, my, my..luckily I drug my husband with me and well I was hooked!

This was me high fiving my family and kiddos. They were there to support me along the way. I did a few other 5K's and finally talked my best girlfriend into joining me on one, and well the rest is history. She was hooked too and not only on the 5k but then 10k's and something I never thought was possible, 2 half marathons!!

Here are some pics for funsies :)
