Ok...so here I am.  I'm actually starting this blog in the middle of my journey to lose weight and at the beginning of my journey to becoming a runner.  I currently have lost 58lbs in about 7 months and I have finished 2 5ks.  It is currently my goal to lose about 15 more pounds and to increase my mileage and eventually one day run a marathon.

Just this week I was able to run in a 5k with my brother.  This was a very special event for me.  I was happy to have some bonding time with him and we were able to encourage each other as we trained for this race.  I was so proud of him for finishing the race and I only hope he continues to run.

I also turned 27 this past weekend and have started to realize I'm getting dangerously close to the big 3-0.  I officially am making it my goal to run my marathon by the time I'm 30.  During my 26th year of life I started my journey to get in shape and I hope that 27 is one of the best years to date. 

So this is me..this is my journey.  No guarantee that it will be anything too profound, but I hope to be able to document my journey and experiences along the way.

Happy Running :)
