Two years ago when I was training for my half marathon and getting ready for my wedding, I went and got a pedicure. The lady working on my nails kind of laughed and smiled. I thought she was smiling because my feet were so gross or because I hadn't shaved before coming. But then she said, "Strong calves. Soccer player?" I told her I wasn't a soccer player but that I ran a lot. She smiled again and massaged my calves (the best part of a pedicure by the way).
I want to be that girl. I want to be the girl who gets told she has nice calves by the pedicurist. The girl who warms up for a volleyball match with a seven mile run. The girl who says she's training a half-marathon like it's nothing at all. The girl who plans and actually runs her runs.
That girl was me once. It's about time that I'm that girl again.

Blog Description
I've found that I can't love and hate something at the same time. It works for some people but not for me- hate always wins. So my goal for this blog is to turn that hate into love- love of running, love of healthy food, and hopefully a greater love of myself.

glad i found your blog...i'm trying to be that girl again too. i got into the nyc marathon two years ago but didn't do it the first year so i could run d.c. with friends and didn't do it last year because well, i got lazy and traveled and just didn't train at all. i've been "trying" to get back on track for a while and have been less than dedicated. but it's mid june and the marathon is november 2nd, so i'm pretty much out of time for excuses!
I see you made it last night! Woo hoo!
