Hello,

My brother challenged me to run Chicago with him. It has been ten years since I did any serious training, so I am using this site to track my progress. I need to lose 15 pounds. I plan to eliminate white carbs and exercise daily. That should do it. This is going to be a fun summer.

    When is the chicago marathon? I have been challenged by my son to lose weight and walk in the Rock n Roll marathon in St. Petes Florida next February. I have about 50 pounds to lose to feel comfortable and am training at the same time! I am walking, bike riding, and some elliptical. any other suggestions?

    Esavery, Chicago is October 9th. I think it is full this year except for Charity entries.

    I recently read a book you may be interested in called The 4 Hour Body by Tim Ferris. Its a bit unorthodox, but and quick fun read, and it may work well for you.
