Hi All,

3 years ago I ran a half marathon in 2 hours 4 minutes, then I had an injury (both IT bands) and was sideline for a long time, then my Mother died, and we bought a new house and running went into retirement. With that came 45 pounds of fat.....Recently I have asked God for guidance with my weight loss and he has put it in my heart to lose the weight and take up running. In the last 17 days I have lost 15 pounds and I have been running. My longest run since my injury was two days ago (2.5 miles). I want to run a marathon in 2014.....three years ago that was my goal....its my goal now......so I am looking for runners and or brothers and sisters in Christ who can motivate me, encourage me and support me. Feel free to friend request me.....who knows, maybe we will run a marathon together!
