I'm 24 years old and I've been obese my entire life. When I look back, it's a wonder I don't have more health issues than I do. My knees are only just now starting to hurt, but only a little bit and after a lot of stress already. I get winded easily, but considering my health and fitness level, I'm surprised I don't have diabetes, heart/lung problems, and joint problems galore!
I'm tired of being fat, and recently made a goal that by the year 2014, I will run a marathon. A lofty goal, to be sure, when you're starting off as someone who's never run before, a day in her life to doing one of the most lofty displays of athleticsm today.
I've set several smaller goals, to work up to the 26.2 miles that is a marathon... including being able to run a mile without stopping, running a 5K, 10K, Mini marathon, and finally, the marathon.
Starting point: 336 pounds.
Final goal: Marathon.
This is my journey.
