Since getting pregnant and having my son, my body has gone through some amazing changes. The same belly that stretched to hold a whopping 10 lbs 1 ounce little guy was left soft and squishy with stretch marks to boot. With becoming a mom, something in me changed. I no longer cared for the parties I once lived for, I now wanted to be healthy and happy for my little guy. I started to run, I started to work out, I started to be healthy. With every mile I ran and every heavy weight I lifted, I realized that my body might not be “perfect” by society’s standards, but it is mine and it is beautiful. Every woman is beautiful.

I followed Under Armour’s What’s Beautiful Contest last year, but I didn’t participate. When I heard that it was happening again this year, I knew I had to be a part of it. I knew that this community of amazing women would help me achieve one of my biggest goals – to run a half marathon.

After running my 10k last year, I knew I wanted to go farther. Don’t get me wrong, the 10k wasn’t easy. I wouldn’t say that I’m a particularly good or strong runner, but it is something I am passionate about and something I want to be able to look back on one day. Something to tell my grandkids someday.

I WILL…complete my first half marathon.
