    Occupation: Teacher

    Favorite non-healthy food: Do I have to pick just one? lol! I am a pizza and ice cream kind of girl.

    Any big events/races coming up for you this year? I am doing the Color Run in KC at the end of June, the Glow Run in July, and the Race for the Rescue (dog 'n' jog) in August. That's the agenda so far. I'm hoping to accomplish better times on the 5ks and eventually attempt a 10k and then a half-marathon (without dying). :-)

    Good luck to everyone!
  • So nice to "meet" everyone! :) I cant wait until the challenge either! Just got off my bike a few minutes ago...21 mile ride this evening!

    Hey everyone! I'm so excited to start this challenge!

    Name: Alice

    State: NC

    Age: 45

    Occupation: Substitute Teacher

    Favorite Non-Healthy Food: FRENCH FRIES!!!!

    Upcoming Events/Goals: I am participating in my first 10K in April 2013! I've never even done a 5K except on my treadmill! I have lost 19lbs and would love to lose another 25-30lbs! I'm planning to do a few 5K's between now and April. I have a bad knee and running on the hard surface (like a track) really isn't that easy, but my thinking is that when I lose more weight, the knee pain will subside substantially. At least that's what I'm hoping for!

    Good luck to us all! We CAN do this!
