Any Bay Area / SF people on here?

Hey there,
my name is Thomas, and i just started on this today (even if I originally signed up in February.
I ran my last marathon in 2007, since then I had slowly gained more than 35 pounds. I am basically out to drop about 40 pounds, I am already 12 down. I dream of (gracefully) running another marathon next summer. I would like to connect to others here, regardless of age or gender ... or location (well, if you were in the Bay Area, that would be neat anyway) fur mutual support.

So hit me up, if you feel so inclined!

Thomas
