Hey Kids,

First let me say that I am NOT a runner. I have been running on and off for the past 27 years or so (short 5k races only) and now I am training for a HM at the end of May. So I guess I can officially join the club. :)

After a few years of doing almost nothing (fall baseball doesn't really count), I decided to get back in shape. I joined up with Team in Training and committed to running the Rock n Roll HM in San Diego. I also decided to finally get serious about my diet and so here I am.

I'll be reading as much as I can over the next couple months and maybe by the end of this adventure I will become a real runner.

Thanks for the great site.

BTW - I am well into my training. I expect to finish the race around 2:30. I'm also well on my way to a much healthier weight.
