in Introduce Yourself
I put my name in the hat for the lottery drawing for the Nike Women's 1/2 Marathon. And low and behold, my name was selected! I have done four 1/2 marathons in the past, but really wanted to get in the best shape of my life for this one. I made changes to my diet and started training on July 1st and so far have lost 16 lbs (I started my fitnesspal later which is why it says I have lost 11 lbs). I am just looking for a few more friends, to stay encouraged. :)

    That's so awesome! I am a fellow runner, trying to get back into the swing of things after having my baby in May. Feel free to add me :)

    Are you doing the one in SF? Congrats for getting in!

    I'm currently training for my 2nd marathon & I live in the SF Bay Area, feel free to add me.

    Awesome - and lucky you for winning! I am always entering to win race entries...no such luck so far, but maybe someday!

    I love running and am training for my first marathon in January, with a few other races leading up to it - a 17.1 mile mountain run on September 7th, a Half Marathon trail run on September 12, and hopefully a 20K in October (haven't officially registered for this one yet). Feel free to add me if you're looking for other running friends!

    Thanks for the encouragement! All have been added, however right now it won't let me add dorianaldyn, the site keeps going down? And yes, it's the SF race on 10/20/13, I can't wait! :)

    I hate looking back at the fact that I was stationed in SF back when I wasn't into running. *Bangs head against desk*
