Before and after

One of my customers saw the picture on the wall of the article that was in the paper when I first opened the shop. She said she hardly recognized me. I took another look at it and was a little taken aback. I'm kind of embarrassed that it was published. Here's a before and after look:

The before shot was taken in the fall of 2008. I started running in the spring of 2010. The after shot was taken in the fall of 2010 (I've lost weight since then, believe it or not!). Based on my size when I started running, as of now, I have lost nearly 20 pounds, approximately 4" to 5" around my waist, and two clothing sizes. WOW!

It is kind of nice to take this assessment. I knew that I was doing well and my clothes weren't fitting, but to see the difference, it just makes me happy!

Half marathon in three and a half days!
