I'm happy that the " run like someone stole your purse line" helped you achieve your goal or part of it. I'm blessed I have met you! See you in November for my only 5K of the year!

YOU ARE AMAZING, AWESOME, INSPIRING, MOTIVATING and every other positive and beautiful adjective. Thank you for inspiring me to push myself beyond my comfort zone. I never would have ran the 8 mile flight line if you hadn't posted that run and encouraged me to do it! Thanks to you and our group, I ran the 1/2 marathon and achieved one of my 2012 goals within the first 2 months of the year! YOU ARE HANDS DOWN one of the BEST sources of encouragement in my life!

Maybe my last 8 yrs would have been vastly different if I had them as neighbors. I'm a new member of WOOP & WOOT but unfortunately for me I found them just as we are preparing to leave Okinawa. Hopefully though I can take their enthusiasm for running with me to our next duty station. I'm participating in my first 10K this Sunday. It might just kill me but i'm going to have fun doing it!! I haven't told my story yet... Maybe sometime soon. Our stories are eerily similar except I wasn’t fortunate enough to move next door to Muscle Mama or Miss Fitness America.

I have already received emails from ladies thanking me for telling my story because they are currently "hiding" too! I am glad that I can inspire others to take back their lives. I am also soooo extremely happy to have met all of of you wondeful WOOP/WOOT ladies! You all have been an inspiration to me every single run! Thank You Marisa!

You, Maritza, and Marta, taught me how to pump iron and squat like one of the guys. I will be forever in your debt for the friendship you all showed me and the love and support. It has been a long road, one that is still unfinished. But, definitely, I truly believe that if you think you can or think you can't you are absolutely right!

You are very right, I was nervous to be so honest and open about my weight struggle. But, I felt like it needed to be told. I know I am not the only one who has ever or will ever go through this. It makes me feel proud and accomplished to actually say it out loud. As for the accomplishments, I just mentioned to my hubby that I would love to climb Mt. Fuji sometime soon! Stay tuned for another post followed by another 20 pounds! =) Thanks Jannine! You are very right, I was nervous to be so honest and open about my weight struggle.

You are so right - we are all running to, through, or from something, but not all of us are brave enough to share our story so that others in similar situations might be inspired by it. Too often we're afraid of what everyone will think if we expose certain truths about ourselves, but I'm so glad you took the risk and went for it - I'm sure your words will encourage many of the women who read this. I'm looking forward to hearing about more of your accomplishments - I can already tell that there are going to be plenty more. Keep going Christie, you're an inspiration! Christie,
