    Hello,

    Your post sounded so similar to mine... I'm also 31, today is my first day, I'm fed up of being the way I am too, and I'm also looking for inspirational friends.

    Please add me if you'd like to (same for everyone).

    31 years young here. I've always been an athlete but am currently in the BEST shape of my life! I can run circles around most 21 year olds, and I don't plan on slowing down!

    Great job on signing up for the race; that gives you a tangible deadline to train for. I highly recommend looking even further out on your calendar and upping it to a 10K (flat course?) or a ~5K Mud Run/Fun Run type of race. That will keep you focused in the midst of and past your upcoming 5K...Always Be Training!

    I'm turning 33 this weekend. It feels like every year I have to cut more and more foods out to stay trim. On the other hand, it is nice to be old enough to show a little cleavage without some well meaning older lady letting me know that my blouse doesn't fit. Guess they figure that if I don't know how to dress by now there is no helping me :wink:

    It is so long ago I cannot remember much about my 30s .... but ... when I was there ....

    I had a job, young children, home, hobbies, social life .... it was exhausting. At first I thought it was my lifestyle.

    Eventually, went to the doctor. I had anaemia (iron deficiency) and bilharzia (a tropical parasitic disease)

    I really think it is worth a visit to the Dr ... you just never know. It might be a quick fix?

    Guys..Thank you Thank you Thank you for ALL of the encouranging words and awesome advice! I did download the c25k app.. used it today during lunch to go walk at the park across from the hospital where I work. Awesome! I really felt I was going to die..lol no but seriously it helped alot!
    Thank you for all the advice on logging, I am AMAZED at how many calories things that I "thought" were healthy actually were..No more unhealthy salads thats for sure! Who knew I could make something as healthy as a salad become more than a double cheeseburger..lol:)
    Orion- I am definitaly going to check out a mud run! Totally my cup of tea there! This 5k I will be doing is a blacklight run and I am super excited to be helping out our hospital(children's) and proving to myself that I can do this! -Not to mention the blacklight after-party sounds pretty awesome:)
    Thanks so much everyone! I will add you guys and hopefully learn so much from each other!

    Hi, Sent you a friend request! I'm only 27 but I kind of feel well over 30- Been single for about a year after 10 years mostly in a kind of destructive relationship and preparing to make my 30's the best and happiest; doing things for me, my happiness, self identity and the whole career change thing - becoming a personal trainer. im also plotting mud runs! Anyone else may add!
