“For a 50-year-old, I am a pretty badass runner.”
Growing up, I stayed active by being involved in team sports. But once I had children, I had a hard time losing weight, and I became less active. After I had my second child in 1999, my weight ballooned to close to 300 pounds; I was very lethargic and had no motivation.
At this point, I decided to have my first weight-loss surgery. It was a success in the beginning, but ultimately I needed to have two more procedures. In 2010, when I was 40 years old, I was fortunate to travel to the United States to have, which helped me lose 144 pounds. Now, 11 years post-op, I am still maintaining a 100-pound loss.
I started running in 2011 because I knew I needed to exercise in order to lose weight. I followed inspiring and motivating runners on social media, and I knew this was something I needed totry. One day I decided to run outside at night so no one could see me. I ran from street light to street light because it was all I could do.
