in Introduce Yourself
Hey :smile:
I'm in the UK and struggling to find people in the same time zone - I'm new on here!
I'm trying to kick my butt into healthier eating and to shift my butt out the door to run again (I used too run often but I have fallen in a hole the past couple of years and let bad habits form....) Could do with some friendly encouragement and will likewise offer support and advice :wink: I'm doing the Trail half Marathon in Snowdonia in June so I need the motivation to train and fuel my body the right way.
Feel free to add me as a friend and I hope to meet like minded people!
I'm also apart of the '100 Days of Real Food Mini Pledge UK Support Group' on FaceBook.

Thanks for reading.
Sallyann x

    Hello Sallyann,
    I'm also from UK. I have been trying to increase my running ability from 5k to 10k. Managed my first 10k this week but it took a while 67mins. Looking to improve that as much as possible.
    My goal is to lose around 20lbs.
    Good luck
