9 Miles!

My lovely wife after running 9 miles.  This is the fartherst she has ever ran in preparation for a half-marathon on Mother's Day.  She's smiling in the photo but she has battled a few demons in preparation for the big day. 

Imagine how you'll feel when you think of a goal, take a series of step to get you there, suceed and fail along the way, and then ultimately reach your goal.  And to think that about one year ago she was over 40 lbs. heavier and unable to run a half mile!  Her first step in losing the weight was the Take Shape for Life Program's "5 & 1" eating plan where average typical weight loss is 2-5 lbs/week.  When her weight loss started to kick-in, she incorporated exercise into her life.  At first she couldn't even run a half mile and yesterday she ran nine.  It's all about baby steps!  I'm very proud of her.
