Hi! This is my very first blog post ever. I am excited to share with you my experiences, pains and running/weight stresses.

A little bit about myself: I am a Marine which automatically makes me a runner right? NOT! When I was younger (<10 yrs old),  I  used to wake up early in the morning to sit at the top of the stairs, looking outside waiting for my dad to come back from his morning run. I tried to run with him maybe once or twice, and I didn’t like it. Then I joined the Marine Corps, and I did run, mostly out of obligation and just to get it over with. I went through a stage where I liked it and then that stage also disappeared.

What is different this time then? Well at this stage in my life, I feel like I NEED it, when I run it is my alone time, my thinking time 🙂 I have set milestones such as losing weight, increasing my competitiveness at work and competing and that drives me. Not only that but I have “met” a group of people who run like me and they push me to be better, I will always treasure their friendship which wouldn’t have happened if running had not brought is together… Well this is it for now, talk to you soon
