Default Greetings! :)
Hi all, thanks for being so inviting-- I figured it's about time I join in

I've finally decided to get fit and make it last!

I'm not using a particular diet plan-- just moderation, keeping track with an online tracking site and increasing my activity level. I'm either walking or run/walking every day of the week, with the goal of running a 15K in March 2012.

I've run races before, but have always been slow-- like, starting with the walkers, slow. I'm working on improving my speed and endurance, and hoping that getting to a healthy weight will make running easier and I won't gasp when I see my race photo

Anyway.... I'm excited about it and motivated in a way I haven't felt in a long time-- trying to take advantage of that!

Thanks all and I wish everyone the best!

Thanks! Well, I've done a 15K twice before, so I know it's possible I'm just sort of starting from scratch again But starting over is better than nothing, right?

Thanks!
That's what I did! A couch to 5k plan I started out thinking I'd just walk one, but then realized the plans help a lot and it was a lot of fun. Did the run/walk instead. I'm pretty much as slow a runner as the fastest walkers though, hahahah! My first one was a Christmas season race in the evening and all the runners wore bells on our shoes. Fun

Cheering you on to the 15K.....You have to let us know how the training is going. This time, you'll leave those walkers in the dust.
