I’m Brooke & I’ve been in your shoes
I didn’t always love running. I didn’t intend to be a “runner.” It just happened. Now, 20 years, five marathons, countless ½ marathons, 10ks, and 5ks later- I can’t imagine my life without it.
I started running to lose some weight and quit smoking. See, I cheered at a Division 1 University and had put on almost 30 pounds my freshman year.
After having weigh-ins for cheerleading, hearing comments like “girl you need to do some sit-ups” , and literally starving myself on game days- I had finally had ENOUGH.
I wasn’t “this” girl they all saw. I didn’t recognize who I was when I looked in the mirror.
I didn’t like how I felt. I wasn’t confident & hated looking in the mirror.
I was tired of feeling unhealthy.
It was a vicious cycle- I felt overweight, ate like crap, and felt more unhealthy & overweight. I knew something had to give.
At the beginning of the summer, after my freshman year, I was determined to make a change.
Sure, 30 pounds doesn’t sound like much, but on my 5’3 frame with a cropped cheerleading uniform in front of thousands of people- I was mortified.
I started on a 2.5 loop with my friend- a former state cross country champion. I couldn’t keep up but was so inspired by her. I started that summer not able to run ¼ of a mile without my lungs burning and having to walk.
Fueled by my passion for change, I was determined to run the entire 2.5 loops near my University of Toledo college apartment by the end of the summer. Slow and determined- I got out there every.single.day. I ran until I couldn’t, then walked and ran some more. Before I knew it, I was running the loop near the end of August.
Soon, a day couldn’t go by without me needing my hour-long run.1999 was before the time of Garmins Watches, so it was just a stopwatch and approximate mileage – all tracked in a mead notepad.
Running soon became my therapy and self-care. I can’t imagine my life now without it.
Running can be your therapy, while helping you lose weight! Transforming you from the inside out!
