The Beginning

I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago and now walk my dog nearly every evening, a mile round trip. Just getting moving is a feat. I'm 5'4", at least 200 lbs. and 132 days from my 40th birthday.

But some of my (non-local) friends have taken up running. Friends my age. In fact, several of them used to be the chubby girls back when I was thin. And I think "I could do that, too."

I haven't told anyone. I haven't bought shoes or a sports bra. But I'm going to. And I'm going to write about it here. And then share when I feel like it's not an unrealistic goal.

Fat girls can learn to run, too.
