While I waited for it to be repaired, I wanted to keep up with my fitness, so I started C25K. I played sports, but was never a runner because I always had so much trouble breathing. Once I pushed through that hurdle, I found that I loved it and missed it once my elliptical was fixed, so I've kept up with it. I love being outside, by myself, just running away the stresses of the day.Courtneyhttp://dontblinkjustrun.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409575404401663375.post-33439814292466991182013-09-16T13:29:16.000+02:002013-09-16T13:29:16.000+02:00There are so many great reasons to run!

But seeing my girls want to run also is pretty awesome. My 10 yr old daughter has participated in Girls on the Run the past two years. It's a great program that teaches girls to be strong, confident, and to make good decisions in life. Seeing my daughter complete her first 5K felt even better than finishing it myself!!!Marynoreply@blogger.com
