As we welcome in yet another new year, I want to look back on the highlights of 2013. 2013 was a really big year for me, it was the first year in my own home and first year I have really changed myself for the better. In January I decided I really needed to do something different, and decided that would be a half marathon. I was unhappy with being so out of shape and eating for comfort, at the time I didn't know that I had Crohns Disease and my lack of exercise and constant binging on food really wasn't helping.
I overhauled my diet and joined a running club, this has turned out to be the best thing I have ever done, I have met some truly amazing people and couldn't imagine going through this journey without them.
Things I have achieved this year
- Ran a 5k
- Ran a 5 mile race
