Greetings from Chicago

Hi everyone, just joined yesterday and thought I'd say hello. I "used" to be in shape pre-baby, but now that the wee one is a few months old it's time to get back to it. And when I say in shape I am by no means talking 3% body fat or anything - I was comfortable with my body and my fitness was pretty solid. My biggest goal right now is to get back into my old work clothes!! And of course, possibly go a bit further in my fitness than ever before. I live in the burbs of Chicago, and my favorite way to exercise is to run. Seriously. from 2008-2012 (2013 I took off due to growing a person) I ran 6 half marathons, and I'm signed up for my first one this April. Something about it just clears your head :D

So yep. Hi!!

PS- it just started snowing here.
