Just have to say WOOP! to MaryAnne our West Coast Sassifrass for not only completing the the Long Beach Half Marathon, but for also taking 10 minutes off her best time! Aw yeah, get it get it! Did I mention that by participating in the Long Beach Marathon she also completed the Beach Cities Challenge! SOOOOOO super proud of you, MaryAnne! Way to go you! Check her out with her metals and the gorgeous sunrise before the race.
Awwww....thanks! For those of you who don't know me, this is my third half marathon, my 9th race overall. Why do I do this? Because I can. Because two years ago when I weighed 308 lbs, I could barely climb a flight of stairs, and now I can run 13 miles. I hope you guys can see there is a light at the end of the tunnel, that it is possible, and whatever your motivation, it's worth it to keep fighting, working, training, pushing forward, because you will get there eventually if you do. Stay strong, can't wait to hear your stories next April!
