Hey :)

Hey! I'm Jess and I'm trying to lose about 20 lbs while also training for a 5k (in a couple months) and I have a long term goal of running a marathon by the time I graduate college! I would love to meet more people. We can support and encourage each other! :blush:

    Welcome! I'm not brave enough to commit to a marathon, but my ultimate goal is to do a half at some point. Probably in a couple of years. :) I just don't have the time to commit to training for one right now, so I'll keep running just for fun, and once my kiddos are a little older maybe I'll commit to that half. Good luck on reaching your marathon goal (and the weight loss one too)!
  • Hi, Jess! Wishing you the best as you achieve your wonderful goals. I have just started running myself (intervals on the treadmill) and hate it, LOL.

    Hi Jess! My goal is to run a back to back 5K and 10K. Feel free to add me for encouragement.
