These pictures were taken after my first 5K race ever.

I felt so much healthier, and it was nice knowing that I’ll never see the 200s again. Ever.

Running has changed my life. It is my passion, my love.

This is the first picture I took since I restarted my journey on February 1, 2010. I just couldn’t bear to look at myself back in the 200s. But re-entering Onederland was a big deal for me and I am extremely proud of the progress I have made.
