Reunited and it feels so good(:

As you may know, I got foot surgery over the summer- a much needed surgery. This lovely beauty knocked me out of running for a few months.. which is kinda a big deal. I went from being able to run about seven miles in the beginning of June, to struggling to even jog a mile by the beginning of August. I don't know why, but it really irked me... a lot. Andd, instead of being all strong willed about it and pushing through the pain until it got easier, I gave up. I didn't run for about another month and a half...way to be an example of personal motivation, right?? So I was pretty much a slacker.. I hated the way I felt not exercising. I felt lazy and like I couldn't eat so much junk because I knew I wasn't running any of it off... dramatic, eh? Then one night, my sister was going running, and instead of continuing my self pity, I decided to join her. We went for a fifteen minute jog that night, then gradually built up. Today, I can FINALLY say that I, Natalie Mortensen, can run up to 4 miles(: without stopping(:
