Running is just putting one foot in front of the other REALLY fast

Two years ago, if you had told me that I would run, I would have laughed. I would have laughed so hard that all 180+ pounds of me would have wobbled and jiggled and it would leave me breathless. I would have had a million 'reasons' why I could never, would never be a runner. A year ago, if you had told me that I would run, I would have been skeptical. I would have the tiniest hope that maybe I could be a runner, but I would not have the gumption or the drive to really go for it.
Yesterday, I ran - ok, I mostly walked - my first 5k! I have beaten shin splints, terrible shoes, knee and ankle pain. I have won, over being the fat girl and being afraid that running will just make me look like a fool. I have overcome the voice in my head telling me I can't and I have shouted I CAN. Yesterday, I completed my first 5k and now I AM a runner.
