Hi Karla,

Welcome to the forum!  

Great to hear that you are enjoying running .  I am not a natural born runner myself & find it really hard to sustain a run for any length of time, but the best thing i did was buy myself a heart rate monitor.  I use it everyday at the gym & I also use it to do interval training where I run for a minute, then walk for minute.  It has really helped me improve my fitness & my ability to run for longer periods than i ever thought possible.  I also use it on the bike for interval training as well.  

In relation to the BodyBlitz challenge, just go for it!  I too dreaded taking those photos, but taking them was a huge mental step to motivate me into changing my eating patterns & re-shaping my body for the rest of my life. No regrets!
