I'm super excited to be taking the lead on a challenge. I'm here for everyone and expect the same in return. Let's have some fun with this. Let's start by introducing ourselves. It would be fun to also add "before" pics. The goal is to become a runner, but naturally we should see some toning throughout the process. I'll start:

Name: Patti
Location: Eastern WA (Home of the future superbowl champion Seahawks)
Age:43
Goal: Short term: March 15 St Patty's day 5K. . . long term, really considering a 10K after this, but a definite long term is the fact that I am marrying in to a family where all the brother's wives are runners and do every holiday 5K together. . . I want to be one of "Thme"
Something fun about me: EVERYTHING, lol. Ok, but specifically, I am 36 days away from marrying one amazing man. . . and my wedding dress is a big fluffy tulle bright pink wonderland of fun!
I don't have a before picture. . . but I could probably get one taken next time I'm in workout attaire. I am on Week 3, Day 2, but I've been re-do each week for a couple extra days. I felt my first "runners high" (which I didn't think actually existed) and now I'm chasing that feeling again!!!
Very excited to have a support system!0 -

Name: Kymberly
Location: Tulsa, OK
Age: 38
Goal: Short term + to learn to love running again and to regain my pre-baby body. Long term = I want to qualify for and run the Boston Marathon
Something fun about me: I was NEVER the athletic one in school. If you needed an excuse to get out of gym class, I could tell you which ones worked. Now, I am a 15 time 5K finisher, 3 10 K's, a quarter marathon finisher, half finisher and a full finisher. Trained for fitness competitions (but never competed).
I take photos after each run because the center is COVERED in mirrors so I'll post one after my next run (this evening).
Also, please feel free to add me; I accept all friend requests and am willing to give a little (or huge) kick on the pants wherever needed.0 -

Goal: Get back to pre-pregnancy weight so I can do it all over again. I don't want to risk having an unhealthy pregnancy.

What a high!
Something Fun about me: I love board games especially the high strategy ones like Settlers of Catan, Agricola, Puerto Rico, Civilization. My husband and I met playing games in college and we continue to enjoy playing together 4.5 years into our marriage.0 -

Age:37
Location: USA
Goal: to see if i can really do this without dying lol.
Something fun about me: I'm a big tech geek lol.
I've lost almost 80lbs since May and really want to see what my body can do. I have a ways to go weight loss wise but I'm closer than i was last January
Im currently using MFP to procrastinate on doing Week 2 day 2's run. While i finished Week 2 day 1, i had to stop twice for like 30 secs after the run parts to catch my breath. That being said this January I've run more than i have in the last 15 years. I have to remember THAT!
Wish me luck!!!0 -
