Black Girls Run!

     Sunday morning we all set off to run, walk, crawl, around Lake Murray for a 6 mile run. Some have never been there and others run the lake daily. 

     It was nice to see so many of us come out and cheer each other on. Some are old friends, some are meeting for the first time. And some of us have been supporting each other for a couple years now. 

    The lake is Beautiful. Especially in the month of October with the georgeous fall leaves.  

     Early morning sunrise

Best part about waking up at 5:00am. Watching the sunrise:-)

Yep, on Sunday I will be a 2x Marathoner! Super excited! This has been a lot of training for me. I've put in so many hours of hiking and running. I'm feeling super strong and confidant!!! I'm ready for you Chicago!!! 

Hiking Iron Mountain

I love to be active on the weekends. Part of me is constantly reminded that I use to be a fat girl, and that maybe I'm not as active as I thought. I feel SUPER STRONG HEALTHY!, but something about getting out on the trail, I start to feel not so strong. I think the heat got to me today. I love to wake up early and be active, but I think the old me mentality sometimes kicks in. 

    I feel like I'm constantly reminded that I use to be fat. And I'm ok with that I just feel sometimes, I hold other people back. It sucks to feel strong and then get out on the trail and instantly feel weak minded! 

Ugh,...... The struggle of a fit/ chunky girl

Finally made it to the top! 

Iron Mountain is a Beautiful hike! Make sure you bring tons of water. The hike is only 3 1/2 miles, but is a killer if your not prepared! 

Finally found some shade.
