Run, Run, Run

As I head farther into my journey, I wonder what I want to do or what goal I want to achieve once the limits of my weight are removed.

I say 'limits' because Noah and I are reading a book called "Life Without Limits" about a man (Nick Vujicic) with no arms and no legs.  In the beginning of the book, Nick writes (pg 2):


"As we begin our journey together, please take a moment to think about any limitations you've placed on your life or that you've allowed others to place on it.  Now think about what it would be like to be free of those limitations. What would your life be if anything were possible?"


These words have have stuck with me for over a month now (since we began reading the book, which is a MUST read). 

Over the past few days, as I work out I often think about what life will be like when I'm NOT overweight and NOT limited by my weight? 

All I could think of is: I WANT TO RUN!  Now, if you really know me you would know that this is the most crazy and absurd thing I've EVER thought.  I've NEVER been able to run, whether I was up in weight or down in weight.  Running is just not me.  It hurts my lungs too much.  It hurts my ankles, my shins. I hate running.  Why would people run???

Have you ever seen those people jogging in the mist of the morning or the sunset at night?  They look so at peace and FREE. 

SO...I'm getting rid of my limits and I'm going to run.

Well...this is what my goal is to run NON STOP for more than 30 or 60 seconds!
