sixtydaystenpounds: This is literally THE picture that inspired me to run for the first time. I saw this and said, “YEAH. Why can’t I be a runner?” So I decided to just walk out the door and go until I couldn’t go any more. I didn’t get very far, but I decided to do it again the next way and guess what! I went even farther. Now it’s almost exactly a year later and although I’m still not fantastic at it, I feel comfortably proudly saying I’m a runner.
