Atkal par skriešanu, šoreiz tā no sirds  
I just felt like confessing my feelings about running & if this is not for you, don't bother reading all of this.
I always hated working out . I hated sports in school, tried to avoid it as much as I can, cause I always hated myself for not being able to do all the other stuff that others can do... I felt lame, fat and physically weak, not flexible enough. I always started to sweat fast, always turned red & I was ashamed of myself,that I'm just not as fit as everyone else. I still do get sweaty too fast & my face turns all red, but i don't care now. I'm facing myself as I am. Cause I'm trying to be healthy, I'm trying to except & love myself the way I am. Until this day, I could never ever in my life imagine that I wouldn't be able to live without running . Everyone can do something better or worse. Our bodies are not the same & so my education system was wrong!! So what I can't do 10 push ups? So what I don't jump far enough for my age!? I never understood how could my physics can be measured in grades..& that made me hate sports. Made me hate it so much,that I thought what is the point of even trying?
But now years later, i understand. It's not about how much you can do, it's not about running the fastest. It's about health, physical health & mental health. It's about taking care of your body, not torturing yourself. It's about making yourself feel alive.
Recently I lost a lot of weight as you all know, started to eat somewhat healthy, but that just wasn't enough. Cause after losing weight, I started to feel very energetic, full of life, energy & I didn't know were to put it. So this spring I started with little work outs at home & running. I still can't do push ups. But I can do lot of different things, that helps to tone up body, make my blood flowing. After runs I always feel so happy, with my red face & sweat everywhere, I take a picture, to capture that emotion. I know these are not my greatest photos, but I don't care. I believe everyone can find their body magic activity.
I was soo tired today after working,but I went for that run, cause it's my drug now. My mind is calm & body relaxed. Don't be scared. Find your active lifestyle 💙

I almost cried reading this! 🖤
Kids are mean & it's so sad that fit girl like you felt so ashamed!:( I was never thin & i never even bothered to be active after school. But i totally understand that feeling - this is not fair -. I thought that for years... That it's not fair someone is born thin and can eat whatever they want, never get fat, it's not fair that there's mire flexible and athletic people even without regular workouts in their daily life. It's just not fair that some of us struggle, to be healthy & some just don't care about their health, but are perfectly healthy. This world is unfair & unreal that way. But looking from brightside. At the end it really doesn't matter how is everyone else. What matters is your self love & never lose that.
Thank you for sharing your story 🖤
And omg... I can't believe someone sweats like crazy & fast as me! It's horrible isn't it?!! That's why i always hated hot summers! While everyone is enjoying sun I'm just dripping in my own juice,lol
Anyway, love what you said about being competitive with ourselves. That is so true. We can break only our records and be proud of them!
