Sorry- I'm still too new for PMs and I didn't want to hijack the other thread!

I think that's fantastic! I was at that point just a few months ago. I was still in the 130's, but running all the time and really comfortable with my diet/routine. I've never done a 6K before- I've done 5 & 10 though- haven't run since May.

That sounds great! Were you able to overcome the food temptations from going home? I know food here in the South is always such a big, social thing- and rarely healthy! I've never been to Morocco- but it sounds fun. The most exciting trip I have planned is NJ for 2 weeks, the kids and I leave on Saturday (DH decided not to come with us) I'm jealous of you being so close to your Master's. I keep trying to figure out how to fit going back to school into my schedule but haven't managed it yet.

BTW, the kids look cute as usual!

Thanks! I honestly don't know how much weight I will (or even want to) lose- but I figured I needed a goal to get active again. When I have a weight loss goal I work harder. When I decide to stop focusing on weight- I end up not focusing on anything at all! I got too comfy in the 130's and slowly but surely stopped pushing myself until I gained another 10 lbs. More than weight loss- I want some muscle definition, darn it! I want people to stop giving me confused/surprised looks when I say I am a personal trainer- it shouldn't be that hard to believe by looking at me!
Oh, and I think the kids are pretty darn cute, myself. Especially in their running clothes! They are begging me to sign them up for another race- so I guess I should get my butt off the couch again!
