Yup, that sounds totally ridiculous to be celebrating running twice this week, but I am. Both times I ran 1.30 miles around my neighborhood. My ankles are aching and every muscle is sore, but I am happy. I can do this.
I also find that my home yoga practice is a little more daring after my runs- that's a perk.
But in my last post I forgot something important to this whole running business. Inspiration.
I don't know how many people know about "Ben does life" on YouTube. Well, the other day I stumbled upon a video of a man running his way out of obesity and depression. I couldn't stop crying!

Although the video does have to do with someone running, I believe that the idea that you can do what you want to if you just do it can be applied to many situations.
Watch this video and then go make that change that you've been thinking about:
