Goals are dreams with deadlines. Stop dreaming! I took control of my life and with the help of many wonderful people I was able to lose 135 pounds in 11 months. Set a goal, tell everyone who will listen, and stick to your plan. You can do it!!

Javelina Jundred with Sam
I had the opportunity to go down to Phoenix and run with my friend Sam while he was competing in the Javelina Jundred endurance race. I jumped in after the 3rd lap and ran with him for about 17 hours from 6pm to nearly 11am the next morning. It was a wonderful experience and I look forward to doing something this insane myself someday!! These are some of the pictures I took during the race that I was posting on Facebook for all of our friends back in Boise. I ended up running about 50 miles which was my longest run ever. Sam battled knee pain for over 80 miles and showed me what it takes to push yourself to the limit of physical endurance. I was proud to have been able to share this experience with him.
