in Introduce Yourself
I had a goal to loose 100 lbs and run a half marathon. I did both in the last year and it felt great to hit both goals that seemed so unreal when i first started this journey. However in the past two months since running the half i have lost focus and have not been great about diet and exercise, i haven't been horrible but not having a goal has stopped me from being as driven as I once was and i have put 10 lbs back on. So with this realization I have signed up to run my second half marathon in Cleveland on Oct 6th....let the training begin.

    The goal is the run this half marathon in less time than it took to run the first one 2:40:56 (is it strange that i don't even have to look that up).
    So to answer the question of what I'll be doing, mostly a lot of running about 25 miles a week as I get closer to the date of the race.
    But I also plan on doing a lot of cross training this time, specifically working on my core muscles.
    And of course eating right, which is actually harder for me than running the 13.1 miles, I just love good food :)
