Open letter to AngieEatsPeace

This was a comment left on the blog of AngieEatsPeace who inspired me today.

Hey Angie,

I looked everywhere for an email address for you, but couldn’t find one. So, I guess I’ll just post this as a comment.

I’ve seen your replies on the health/fitness boards a bunch of times, and I’ve even looked at your blog once or twice. But today, on a whim, I came to your blog and read. And read. And read.

I’ve been inspired by your writing, and by your journey towards a healthy life. We’re the same age (I turned 25 this past October) and I’ve not been healthy/fit in as long as I can remember. When I started the 30DS on a whim this November, it kickstarted, in a way that I couldn’t have predicted, a new kind of health. I’ve dieted, and bought workout videos (winsor pilates and taebo anyone?), but never with vigor. Never with purpose.

Anyway, I completed the 30DS weeks ago, and have admittedly taken a brief semi-hiatus to get through this past christmas week. But today reading your blog, I became reinvigorated and completely certain that I will not fall back in to a sedentary life. I will not stop trying to live a healthful life of focus and purpose.

I’ve decided that I will run a marathon in 2009, and that I will continue to change the way that I treat my body.

I’d love, love to be able to email you sometime, so, if you want please shoot me an email, so that I don’t have to write embarassingly long comments on blog posts about tofu.
