Here we go! I have challenged myself (and a few of my friends) to RUN everyday for a whole month. Easy right? WRONG. I would not call myself a runner - I have been "running" for a few weeks now, trying to find the time between 40 hours working and planning a wedding, then you have friends, family and just trying to make sure you have clean laundry along the way.
But I CHOSE to try something different. To get my life back in order - something where I can go and just be, breathe and think clearly.
Running came slow for me. It was hard at first - REALLY hard. I haven't moved like that in years. And it took everything within me to get going after a long day at work. But I have done it.
So this month, August 2014, I have decided everyday I will RUN. Some kind of running - whether it be 10 minutes or 1 hour. I will in someway, take some moments to collect myself, to breathe, pray, and find myself again.
How did I come to this challenge? Looking back at my last 3 years out of college, I have probably a collective of 10 or so pictures of myself that I actually enjoy. Not because I look different than what I did at 18 or even 22 - I see someone who is tired. Someone who is looking at a long life of WATCHING rather than DOING. I am a STRONG woman of GOD - beautiful, capable and alive. BREATHING. So why not? Why not take back my life?
So I am doing this to break old habits, breaking bad processes, breaking toxic routines. It will be uncomfortable, challenging, difficult, wonderful, inspiring, CHANGING.
So here we go. Everyday, I will be posting - telling you about the challenge that day brought me, photos to prove my challenge is still going strong.
Stick around - watch this girl become a habitual runner.
