So, I have been on MFP for about 8 months now. I am within 4.5 lbs of my goal weight. My primary form of exercise is running/jogging. I have completed a few 5k's in about 30 minutes, and am now looking to increase my speed and distance, eventually working up to a 10k then a half marathon. I am very motivated to stick with the program when I see others having success! If you're looking for a fellow runner (or jogger, as I like to classify myself) :wink: feel free to add me!

    Wow! That's amazing! I took up running a few months ago and am doing my 3rd 5K this Sunday. I'm pretty excited because its through an outdoor shopping plaza and I figured it would be some good scenery, like window speed shopping. LoL! My last time was around 34 mins, so I'm looking to beat that this time and to keep improving. I've found that swimming helps a lot too. Feel free to add me.
