Get a Move On

  For some reason, still unknown to me, I decided that running would be the best way to enter the workout world. Now, let me explain how much of a non-runner I have always been. I did not play sports past junior high. I was a cheerleader in high school. Because I'm loud. I only did field events in track. I don't do running. BUT, the new 50 lbs lighter Jennifer, thought she needed to be a runner. Riiiiiiiiiight. Well, apparently, there was always a runner in there waiting to bust out. Who knew?! My very first workout I ran a half mile without stopping. That was a huge accomplishment for me. When I was a fatty, I could BARELY run a quarter of the track (as in 100m) without feeling like death was surely near. Again, back on track... two months after I decided to start running, I was up to running 5-6 miles a day. Now, do you see why I think maybe there was always a runner in me? It's simply amazing what getting rid of 50 lbs can do for your running ability! So, I was eating right and running now. I managed to shave off another 15 lbs. There is nothing in the world like feeling great because you're healthy. Running is a great workout, but it's a bit boring. AND, to be honest, 65 lbs and 9 months later, my eating schedule was getting pretty damn boring too. Enter moving to Lincoln, and *gasp* Crossfit...
