Can't believe I started week 8 and it's getting easier!! There's a lady at my park who looked like she was concerned for my health when I was trying to run a minute who was there today. I hope she was impressed, I pretended she was either way

I just finished week 6 myself! I was breathing so loud they could hear me a mile away and going very slow. I wanted to give up a thousand times. But I did it!!

I did a glo run here which is similar to the electric in concept (but less organized). You will have...

Hey! I'm Shelby. I live in the southeast of the U.S. in the Great Smoky Mountains near the Cumberland Gap (it's famous here but idk about anywhere else). Anyways, right now I run on a track but I'm hoping to build up to trail running. I am surrounded by national parks but the trails are usually pret...
