—- It’a a never ending journey but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

More and more days I am catching myself actually admiring how strong and lean my legs are becoming. If someone asked me which i would rather prefer to have long thin legs which would fit a size 0 in jeans or sexy, lean, strong NO-THIP GAP legs that would fit a size 8 jeans, hands down I would chose the size 8.

It hasn’t been easy but I am slowly becoming more and more comfortable and confidant with my body.

Wat to do with yourself when it’s a holiday and practically all the stores and gyms are closed!?!!??

I’ve been reading for the past 2 hours it amazes me how completely exhausted I am. I am SO bored and dreading school tomorrow :(

However boat cruise is in 3 DAYS!!! Pretty stoked cuz this year we are getting a bigger and better boat :)
Still haven’t figure who is going to do my hair and makeup.

Sigh also graduation is in 2 WEEEKS!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t wrap the idea around my head.

It feels like it was yesterday that I was my 12 year old self wishing to be an adult already. Seriously the things we wish for when we are young.

the-fit-fox:

Stupid things that make me feel like I have started to really experience the life of a runner.

Soaking a shirt with sweat
Swallowing a bug while running
Tripping and totally scraping up myself
Blisters on my feet
Sore legs for days
Getting lost
Constantly looking for new hype songs
Doing the runners nose blowing when stuffy
Running through the feeling of needing to throw up
Holding in my pee
Keeping my pace and re-doing my pony tail
Passing people up
Getting a sip of water from random sprinklers
Falling in to a trance watching my shadow
Getting the best ideas (but always forgetting them)
Shin splints
Making my last mile the fastest mile
Getting jealous seeing others running when I can’t
Smiling when my endorphins kick in
Inspiring the people in my life to run

7 months ago I could hardly do a mile and if someone were to tell me I’d be capable of doing Half-Marathons by now, well, I’d never believe it. Definitely amaze myself sometimes.

I’m just another runner but I love every sick/agonizing/gross/painful/beautiful moment of it.

This.
