MileBarriers Running again after years off. Overweight and starting from zero. For beginners, for comebacks, for anyone who thinks running isn’t for them. Running again.

Sharing the grind, the progress, the setbacks, and the lessons I wish I had known the first time. Overweight. Starting from zero. Blogging the process — the setbacks, the progress, and what I wish someone had told me the first time. For beginners, for people starting over, for anyone who thinks running isn’t for them.
