This was my first major running goal. I originally planned to do this in a race in November, but I'll take meeting the goal a few months early. I'm excited to see what I can do when I get to race day now.
I went from 213lbs in September to 179lbs now. I'm a former powerlifter who still lifted but lacked any real purpose with my training, and was in a very bad mental space when I started this. I got on meds and into therapy and decided I was going to take better care of myself. I started off changing my eating habits and going on daily walks. Eventually I got into running and now I also run multiple times a week. Yesterday I did a 10 mile run, and I've never felt this in shape or comfortable in my body in my life.

Downloaded the app back in March and have been running ever since. Never realized I'd get this hooked!
