Hi! I'm a vegetarian and I'm training for a half-marathon.

About a year ago, I started running, doing moderate strength training and using MFP to get down to a healthy BMI. I maintained that for a year, and now I'm back with the goal of losing about 10 vanity pounds, getting MUCH stronger and completing my first half-marathon in October.
I'm now running five days a week, including a long run, and going to CrossFit twice a week to increase my foundational strength. I've always been athletic (I was a competitive swimmer for twelve years, and I taught spin classes for two), so I've got faith in my body to hold up under pressure.
First week down, feeling great!
