Zoom Wanna know a secret? I’ve gone running the past two days. It wasn’t far (3k/1.8 miles each time), but still, I laced up my shoes, left my house, started jogging, and then didn’t stop. And I ran not to lose weight, or for a race. Not to lose body fat, or to lose the jiggle on my thighs or bulge in my belly, but rather because I wanted to. (I know, whoa!) Chicago marathon registration opens tomorrow (are you in?) and despite official training only starting in June, I got a little excited to see where my body will go this running season. Because right now? right now I’m at a beginner’s running fitness level (running is sooooo hard!!), but between now and October I’m going to train, and work hard, and improve. And I, for one, am excited!  “That we manifest is before us.”
