5am 5K #BSB

Ok... So I recently got introduced to a co-worker where I am currently doing an internship, we have lived in the same town for almost 2 years now and didn't know each other...how crazy is that....Well last week we went out to dinner and had an absolute blast!!!! We instantly hit it off... both of us inspiring runners..... so we have decided to make a blog for our run group (which now only consists of her and I)! We wanted to start a running group in our town but it is sooooo small, and us Ohio girls know that most people do not want to trek outside in the winters let alone have enough runners at different paces and ages..!!! Brrrr!!!


Well my new friend and I have recently decided to #BringSexyBack.... She is getting married to the love of her life in 9 short months, I am so excited for her! I am in a wedding in 10 short months with a bunch of skinny twiggy girls...(I am not a skinny, twiggy girl ouch..)..we have made a pack together that we are going to work hard and run to look our best on her wedding day and at my best friends wedding day....


Late last night, I got the bright idea, lets run tomorrow morning.... me having to be at work at 9 and her having to be at work at 7:45 posed as a problem... solution....5:30 am run.... OUCH!!!! Thank god she called me or I would have slept for hours!!! :) 


While running on the treadmill at 5:30 am this morning we decided that we need a motivator. I told her that she needed to have her voicemail say... Sorry I cannot answer the phone right now but please leave your name and number and I will call you back...&. If this is Melody, WALK AWAY FROM THE FAST FOOD! We laughed and laughed, and decided that we would start this running blog as a better way to encourage each other and to keep us accountable for our goal.. and let other runners give us tips, training advice, and motivation! We are here to motivate you as well!.... we have not really set a weight loss goal, or a size goal... our goal is to #BringSexyBack :)


We are not great runners by any sense of the imagination.... we just want to help encourage others to work hard, get to the gym and make good choices.... believe me I know its hard! Fast food is easy but my motto is "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"....(lets see how long I can stick to that)... I have run 2 half marathons #Pittsburgh Marathon, and the #Air force Marathon, 1 sprint triathlon West Milton, and many 5k's. None of which I finished in any good time..... my goal is to improve my times....I know that if I can improve my time..... I will #BringSexyBack... and if I dont "look good in that dress" I will "FEEL GOOD IN THAT DRESS".


 We also decided to take a picture.... to be able to better gage our weight loss..and inch loss :) We have both decided not to disclose our weight, however WE HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY!
