Hey Olivia,

Great post and I love all of these pictures. You look fabulous!

You have, in return, inspired me with your recent posts on motivation and running. I injured my knee last thursday on a run and took a week off to give it a break (I was bummed to be a bum). But you got me going again today – a mild 2 mi run – it was good to get back into the groove.

See you on the daily mile, Chica!

You can do it!!!! Getting started is half the battle. Once you find a routine I bet the energy you’ll find and good feelings overall will keep you moving. And if you need any motivation – holler out to your peeps. Seems like you have a lot of support!

Oh, and good job on the 10k goal – a goal like that will definitely keep you going!

Hehe I love Alison’s inner motivator – might have to steal for my own use! You know how I like visualizations.

Also, I must say that I love your goals; they are really helping to inspire me. I’m going to soul search a bit this weekend and try to figure out something similar that will work for me. I feel so cheesy and vain just having “wedding fitness” as a goal. Any ideas (biking isn’t an option, if you saw the hill I live on, you’d know why)?

Good luck with all of this and keep us all posted on your progress!

Go, Olivia! You are always an inspiration to me. Blogging along the way is always a big motivator, so I hope you’ll continue to take us along on your journey.

Olivia, this is an awesome blog. How have I been missing out on it? Way to go on making goals. I was just talking to Brent about this the other day. My goal for getting in shape was to be healthy and become a personal trainer and to look like a personal trainer. Now that I do, I have been trying to figure out what my next goal is. Yours are very ambitious…so I appreciate the challenge you have given me/reminded me about. I need a goal, so now I am off to find one. Loves and Kisses!!

you can do it, Bea — er, Olivia. get KRL to give you the lunch or dinner slot off and then take the big break to run @ yangjaecheon. mid-day endorphins take the edge off hours of grinding grammatical freak-show.
