So, my friend Becca and I were talking the other day and I realized that my story, although it isn't unique in the fact that many people make this journey, but unique in the fact that this journey is mine and mine alone. I have done this all under my own power without the help of any "miracle" pill or shake. Its taken a lot of hard work and conviction, but it will never be over. I'm not sure if I am writing this more for me, or more to try to inspire others, but this will stay semi private until I feel like I am ready to share it with the world.
As of right now, I have 3 very very important people that are pushing me along my journey. The first person is Becca. She came into my life at a time that was very very difficult for me. She is my best friend. She is my cheerleader and my constant motivator. She helps me see the good in the world. We have fun like nobody would believe.
The second person is Joshua, my trainer. He is incredible and puts up with my whining about not being able to run, and then designs workouts that kick my butt.....he is a constant motivator and is genuinely really good at what he does....
The 3rd person is Nate, my chiropractor. He has been part of my journey now for about 6 months. He has gotten me through several races and keeps my body from getting injured. He also does deep tissue work that helps me be stronger.....
Well I will try to post more from start to current later.....This may take a few tries.
