inspiration

so i've been bit by the running bug! (well at least i'm on week 4 or 5 of the running bug we'll see how long it lasts ;) hopefully for a VERY long time!)

anyway, a friend passed the link to this pbs special on to me. if you have ever thought of running but were scared or thought only real athletes or skinny people do that, this is the proof that all of those thoughts aren't true. 

i definitely cried at the end. i was rooting for every one of the runners in this show. if they can do this, i know i can. not because i'm more fit than them, but because i want it just as bad as they do. 

i want to prove to every person who ever made fun of me for my weight, or made me feel like less of a person because of the number on my scale that i can do this. 

Watch it HERE

i can't figure out how to embed this particular video so you'll just have to follow the link. Sorry!

happy monday, friends!
