![]() One day, I decided to run for a couple of blocks. I really got into seeing if I could beat our previous walk’s time and the different mile splits on my friend’s Garmin watch. Although we were slow, we were covering some ground. We moved slowly at first, as I found out when my friend would call out our mile times to me. My friend and I walked while I pushed my toddler in her stroller. My husband bought me a fitness watch that would track my steps and heart rate, and I started walking with Erin a few times a week. I told my friend Erin, who had started running a couple of years prior, that I wanted to lose weight and feel strong again. I recalled that I had once lost 15 pounds from slow jogging after high school and decided I was going to give power walking and slow jogging a shot this time. In late 2014, I decided I had enough of feeling out of shape and not recognizing the person I saw in photos. When I had a baby in 2013, I managed to pack on 75+ pounds that I just couldn’t seem to drop like people kept telling me I would. ![]() I was always athletic but struggled with some extra pounds and body image. I meet people in our store almost every day who share a similar story: “I used to be fit and then life happened and I got out of shape, but I’m ready to start again and get back to being fit.” These are often my favorite customers because I can relate, and I love watching others discover a love of running.
