I have all the twinges of a heavy person...hurting feet, creaking back, stomach upset, heavy breathing, and fatigue. I want to be a healthy person. I am starting walking today. I'd like to start doing races. I don't know if I'll ever want to run, but I'm infatuated with being known as a person who runs or does races. It sounds pretty awesome to me!

I have a brother who runs, bikes and swims and is about to do Ironman in May. I have a sister who has always been athletic and fit. She's since had two children and is still one of the strongest women I know. I have a baby brother who is also an athlete and in superb physical condition.

I am a misfit, but I love them, they love me, and I want to be belong! I WANT TO BE FIT!

Any information on starting this journey is appreciated...thanks for reading...

First let me say that you are NOT a misfit. You are your own unique person and just because you aren't just like your siblings doesn't mean you aren't really special. You have come to the right place for education, encouragement and motivation to succeed in your healthy lifestyle way of living. I look forward to reading about your successes in the near future.
