Have you ever just...

Wanted something so bad... that you've waited years and years to do it... that just the thought of it, makes you cry because you know that you can do it, but there is always something holding you back?

I actually have two of those...

1. To lose the extra weight that I am carrying
2. To run... just run without stopping; run without feeling pain in my joints. To run!

Yup... losing weight. Just about everyone has that in their goals... to get rid of the extra weight that they carry. No one wants to be overweight. No one wants to be considered obese.

I want to be at a healthy weight... and of course I am working on getting there. Nothing this year is going to stop me from getting there.

But it's the second one that tears at my heart... the ability to be able run without any problems.

I know that once the weight has come off, I will be able to work harder on my endurance of running - because it's not about the speed. I want to be able to run a half marathon this year. 

I am shooting for September of this year to run the Women Rock Chicago Half Marathon.

I hope and pray that I am able to achieve these goals this year, as I have been wanting these two things for as long as I can remember.

I plan on working harder than ever before to achieve these two major goals in my life.
