Hello all...I'm Ali :) 25 and live in Richmond VA.

I've gone through short phases where I actually go to the gym and start doing well with fitness, but they never last. I recently signed up for a 5k in May with some coworkers in an effort to really make me start working! Considering I can hardly run for 2 minutes right now without feeling like I'm dying, I'm pretty nervous...

Anyway, I'm pretty new to this and am just looking for some support. :) I plan to start going going to the gym 4x a week. I started last week. I'm determined to keep at it this time around!
