Thanks so much for reading!

GOOD FOR YOU! You’re going to be great. If there’s one thing I learned last night, it’s that your current weight has absolutely nothing to do with running 5Ks! All the little things I’m usually so hung up on — the number on the scale, the way my thighs look in shorts — completely disappear the moment I cross that finish line.

Please be sure to let me know how it goes! :)

Jennifer

You inspire me at 260lbs to run a 5k in September and get some new kicks. Be proud of your 11min mile and keep writing. Thanks Crystal
