in Introduce Yourself
I started using MFP along with a class but once that class ended, I started to slack and stopped tracking. Once I did that, my weight loss stopped too. So I'm hoping to make more friends on here who will help keep me accountable.

About me: I'm 40, mom of two college kids, a geek (I play WoW, read webcomics, etc). For workouts, I run three times a week with a group and add in weight training afterwards. Oh, and my username was inspired by the Disney World Marathon's Goofy Challenge, which is something I hope to one day complete. It's a marathon and a half in two consecutive days.

So... please add me! :D

    Wow! A bunch of people just added me. Thank you thank you thank you. I tried to send personal messages to folks but I'm sure I missed a few. I'm sorry if I did!

    (And I love Scottish accents. I think it's my slight Tennant crush.)

    Can I join too? I am from Canada, a twenty four year old mother of a six year old daughter and a 16 month old son. My family including my mother were born in Scotland.

    I'm already your friend on here but wanted to pop on and say hello and a kind of 'ooooh, I didn't know you played WoW' - I played when it was released but gave up just before the Burning Crusade came out as it was eating my life. Still miss it a bit though and my friends on there :)

    *motivational hug*

    Hi, BV. :D

    Hehe, yeah. I stopped WoW for quite a while but recently picked it up again. My husband and I just use it to goof off together. We don't raid or anything. A lot has changed since you left!

    *hugs back!*

    I've done the Goofy twice and signed up for 2012. You should totally do it. It's so much fun!!!! Have you done other Disney races? I've got two coming up (Disneyland 1/2 and Wine & Dine 1/2) and I can't wait!

    DisneyMommy: I just now booked a room for our first Disney race (husband runs too, much better than I do): Expedition Everest Challenge 2012. They haven't opened registration yet but I thought I'd grab a room now. We're staying at AKL. We stayed once before and fell in love with it. Mmm.... Boma.

    I'm so envious of your upcoming races. I haven't been to Disneyland since DCA was a parking lot! We're also planning to do the Wine & Dine in 2012, then the WDW Marathon the following Jan. I'll be squeezing in some other local races between those, I'm sure. :)

    I haven't done Expedition Everest yet. Hope you enjoy it, it sounds like fun! We live about 45 min from Disneyland so we go bunches but I grew up on the east coast so Disney World was my first park. The 2013 WDW Marathon is going to be amazing. It's the 20th anniversary of the full! Great time to go! Happy training and maybe one day we'll get to meet at a Disney race!

    That's funny. I used to live a little more than an hour away from Disneyland (I kinda grew up in the park LOL) and now I live within about half a day's drive of WDW.

    And I'm excited about the 20th Anniversary Marathon! I have a feeling we're going to have to book rooms as soon as they open.
