About Me
Hey there! I’m Angel Ramirez, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to my corner of the internet. I’m from the Pacific Northwest with a story of transformation that I’m excited to share with you.
Just a couple of years ago, the idea of running a marathon seemed like an impossible dream. At my heaviest, I weighed 283 lbs, and health issues were a significant hurdle. But I decided to take control of my life, and what a journey it’s been!
In 2022, I underwent bariatric surgery, marking the beginning of my transformation. Since then, I’ve lost 120 lbs and discovered a passion for running that I never knew I had. From struggling to jog for a minute to completing my first marathon in 3:49, my journey has been nothing short of incredible.
Some of my proudest achievements include:
- Completing my first 10k on December 31, 2023
- Running the Bloomsday Run (12k) in Spokane in under an hour
- Finishing the Jack & Jill Downhill marathon in July 2024
Through this blog, I want to share my experiences, tips, and challenges as I continue my running journey. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out, I hope my story can inspire and motivate you to chase your own dreams, one step at a time.
Join me as I explore the world of running, share insights on nutrition and training, and document my ongoing transformation. Let’s lace up and hit the road together!
