curlyrunnerbug moves south: runner girl.

i started running just about 4 years ago and like i said, it completely changed my life! always wanting to run a 1/2 marathon but never really having the balls to do actually do it finally a friend of mine gave me the piece of advice i really needed, just do it. jp told me it was never going to be perfect. there would always be a reason "not too." the weather is too hot/too cold, i want to move, i really want to lose weight first, theres not a race in my area anytime soon, you can always find an excuse if you want too. so with that i came home from nashville that weekend and began running monday, may 18th, 2009. i never looked back.

now 13 1/2 marathons, countless 5ks, and a few 10ks later i am training for my 1st full marathon! running has guided me through some huge triumphs and some pretty sucky lows. its something that is there for me whenever i need it and a comfort i can always count on in even when i dont expect it. and this sounds rather corny, but its really, really fun! i do complain about it from time to time, i mean who doesnt? but it is truly one of the funnest adventures i have ever been on!

running has taught me to be confident and with the right training i can do anything! heres a snapshot of some of my favorite races...
