I started my journey 2 years ago at my heaviest I was around 270lbs. I started by walking a mile a day and lifting some weights. It took me an hour and a half to walk a mile back then. I have now lost almost 80lbs and am running 4 miles in an hour training for a 5K a month and ultimately running a marathon. I also hike 6 miles every Sunday and try to hit the trail as much as I can. With running u thin out a lot so I think bodybuilding would be a good off set to keep nice muscle tone and still be a runner. I always knew I had an athlete inside me and am glad I'm embracing my inner badass before I turn 40:)

It's my focus/thinking time and helps center myself. This is my first run in bodybuilding because sometimes you just need something different to do the trick. I love trying new things.
