I was ready to give up. But after 3.5 years of persistence, the results finally came, and boy, did they come. I never imaged that I would start running recreationally at the elite level. I never imagined that I would completely shatter all my previous mile-time records and become by far the fastest, strongest, fittest athlete I have ever been in my entire life.

This is a regular-sized shirt but fits more like a crop top because of my belly. It’s hard to believe that after 2 more years of effort, not only will I fit into all my pre-pregnancy clothes, they will be too big! Things will completely turn around and then some. I just need to stay the course. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a88fa0d63dd23e928b02b9/4a662215-7ab6-4a91-ab03-40dcb2492fcf/IMG_2885.jpeg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a88fa0d63dd23e928b02b9/8e385436-e295-4620-a164-094ed35d99e1/558372135_25643217678601823_3692478542238356413_n.jpg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a88fa0d63dd23e928b02b9/84b6ef08-0bb9-4d9f-8263-e729cebc5be0/67554406_2888348444515403_4941517134275543040_n.jpg New Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69a88fa0d63dd23e928b02b9/23a5e3ed-e8ca-4f4c-a607-ea5e154ed8dd/Work1.jpeg New Page
