Hello folks,

I wanted to Introduce myself:

I am from Beaverton OR, which is about 15 minutes outside of Portland, OR. If you have seen the series Portlandia, it is definitely just like that ;-)

Anyways, My goals are getting myself into better shape. I'm not entirely focused on reaching an ideal weight at this point, but I want to be able to run a 5k, excel in my martial arts class, and get into over all great shape. I started my blog today so if you want to learn more, check that out.

Cheers and good exercise to all!

    Welcome :)!!

    Good luck on your journey. My advice if you're just starting to run, is don't overdo it at first. Make sure you only gradually increase your distance or length on the treadmill.

    Are you doing the Couch to 5K program? I've never tried it but when I began to lose weight all I did was run run run, and I ended up injuring myself and not being able to run for a month.
