This is Kelsey Byers and she is my inspiration! :-)

She is so dedicated! She is a tall girl (like myself) but is able to pull off a toned, feminine strength about her. Definitely my fitness inspiration! :-)

Motivator - Color Run! :-D

My fiance and a few friends participated in the Color Run in Birmingham, Alabama on September 3rd. It was raining the whole time we were running, but we didn't care a bit! :-) It was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had! The energy was amazing! Everyone was all smiles as the rain poured down.  We didn't time ourselves, we just had fun and did the best we could. I really want to do the one coming to Tuscaloosa!

                    My fiancee and I at the end of it all...when it decided to stop raining...lol!

Introduction - My Goal and Plan

My name is Courtney Johnson and my goal is to be able to run a 5k again. I would love to get the time down to eight minutes a mile which would mean me running a between a 24-25 minute 5k. This will help me also accomplish my goal of losing some weight for my March 23, 2013 wedding! :-D

I plan to accomplish this by starting out with sprinting and walking. As time goes on I will make the walking portions shorter and shorter until I am running/jogging the whole distance. Then the last step will be to time myself and push harder to reach my time goal.
