Marathoner Deede

“Hi. My name is Deede and I have a very interesting job. I help people get healthy, I encourage people to change their life and am working on becoming a better version of myself daily.

I do this thing called Plexus which I was skeptical about for a long time. I used to roll my eyes at my friends posts. 🙈

What happened? One day I realized how miserable and unhealthy I was, so I decided to see what it was all about – and now I am training for a marathon and helping support my family. 🙊

My job is to show the world you can do something big, be laughed at while you’re doing it, and still accomplish great things.🙉

I feel incredibly underestimated at times, like people don’t take me seriously because of my size and because of my fun personality, among many other reasons! 😂

You know what? That’s totally OK, because it takes away any expectations – except for the ones I place on myself.
Besides, one day you might see me and say, “Wow, she really did it.” And I’ll say “Yes I did. It was fun, it was hard, and you can do it too!” ❤

I hammered out my first 20 miler yesterday. It was pretty intense – but I did the damn thing and I am on top of the world!!!

Just this time last year I was working on getting my first mile off the treadmill, and here we are…👊

I’ve seen many people who’ve been running longer than myself show concern and worry about going for a full marathon. 👌

Let me just say, if you want it bad enough and are willing to work for it, you can have it!!!

👉I was nervous about signing up for my first marathon, and that was in October!!!

Here we are a few months later and killing it!!!

Keep pushing, keep going, don’t stop, it’s okay to slow down to rest, but when the time comes, take a deep breath, exhale the pain and KEEP GOING!!!!” 👈
