So you can always just send me a private email with what you REALLY want to say HA!!!!<br /><br />I went through my list and deleted a BUNHC of blogs last night because somehow your blog kept getting buried with giveaways and reviews. I love blogging and all that it stands for but I also want to really connect with REAL people.<br /><br />I am not even GOING there with my body imaged I am TWISTED.... intro some Keith Sweat...Kimmyyy83https://www.blogger.com/profile/09882888033305949351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661488220031550821.post-91901392674020155602013-01-18T12:11:14.745-05:002013-01-18T12:11:14.745-05:00I LOVE this post Ashley.

I feel like when I tell people I run - they are like "okay big booty hoe".. LOL.. BUT... I love to run and I am going to keep doing it. I might NEVER run a mega race (however I will run 1 marathon if I die doing it) but I love the way running feels. <br /><br />I struggle with my body image - terribly. I look in the mirror and want to puke - like WTH happened to me? Ugh... I appreciate your post on this - I have the exact same feeling.<br /><br />Also you are right - I probably don't post half the stuff I would REALLY say for fear of hurting others. AND that is okay... I DON'T want to hurt others - and I am okay with that...<br /><br />I love ya girl..

You tal...Oh girl, this post struck a chord with me. You talked about not feeling like a real runner, and I have felt that way (and most of the time still do) and I'm halfway through training for a freakin half marathon. I often wonder if I will ever feel like a real runner. The fact of the matter is, as my girlcrush Jillian Michael's says, if you run, you are a runner. Whether it be a quater of a mile or a marathon. I don't know why the title causes such crazy head games, but I'm with ya on that. In the very beginning, I wouldn't even tell people I ran in fear of them not believing me. I thought they'd think I was too big to be a runner. Who cares what they think though!<br /><br />The first step you made was choosing to run. Second step was getting fitted for shoes. I can assure you those employees have seen people who haven't even walked for exercise a day in their life. One day, you'll have that breakthrough run that we all have, where the heavens will open and you'll have a hot mess moment where tears run down your face because you realize a few months ago, your body could've never done what it's done now. I promise you. And I cannot wait to read about it!SouthernGrlGets Fithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17313211937987321139noreply@blogger.com
