I did it!!! I tried something I’ve NEVER done before…
I ran/jogged/walked all the way from my office building down to the Tidal Basin!!!! That’s aboutĀ 36 city blocksĀ and about 3 miles round trip!!! I just simply cannot even comprehend that I was able to do this! I’m the obese child, the FAT FRIEND, the one who couldn’t RUN to save her life….
But I want to thank EVERYONE who has EVER given me any encouragement - knowingly or unknowingly on this site… BodySpace has really been a challenge to my self-imposed limitations!!
I’m just feeling so empowered right now. I need to go ahead and replenish my body, but I feel AMAZING!!!
