‘My Confidence Was at an All-Time Low—Until I Discovered Running’
Nearly a decade ago, my life was consumed with being a wife, a mom to two toddlers, and a full-time pharmacist. Every day, I jumped out of bed and started my day in a rush. I was constantly stressed and let my emotions rule the rest of my waking hours. Fitness never even really crossed my mind, it was so out of reach. I felt like taking an hour for myself each day would be selfish.
But one night in 2008 (at a time when my confidence was at an all-time low), I was watching The Biggest Loser, and the contestants were preparing for a half-marathon. As I watched them train to run that race, I thought: If they can do it, so can I. I just wanted to be able to accomplish something new - and that was the spark of inspiration I needed.
