Running and I – we don’t have a great relationship. I’ve half-attempted to run a 5k every year since the Hot Chocolate Run came to San Diego – and I got a 5-year legacy package last year, so it’s been at least that long. (Oh, and I didn’t even participate in last year’s race, but that’s another story.) By “half-attempted” I mean that I’ve downloaded the Couch to 5k app, started the program, failed to complete the program, and failed to run the race.

This year, however, I vowed to stop quitting on running, and – more importantly – to stop quitting on my goals. I began 2019 at my heaviest recorded weight, ever, and that really shocked me into prioritizing my health and fitness. Hence, the return to running. Thus, this blog.

This blog will cover my running adventures, as well as my experiences with weight training (which I also have a shaky history with). I may also discuss food, since nutrition should and will play an important role in this journey toward improved health. It’s bound to get a little whiny, for which I apologize in advance. But I hope it ultimately documents a change in my approach toward my health and my lifestyle.

For those of you reading along and on a similar journey, you are not alone, and you’ve totally got this!

To your health,
Hanna
