Hello. Long story short, I was a really active person but moved to another location where I dont know anyone and there isnt much running trails. Also, I now work 60 miles away so I get extra exhausted by the time I get home. I signed up for this year's NYC marathon and I need to start working on myself since I have gained some extra pounds. Motivation is definitely needed! :(

    @misserika0330 I have just started running again myself- one day I’ll do a marathon- I haven’t signed up for one yet because I start a grad program in two months and I’m not sure how everything will pan out. Feel free to add me and we can keep each other in check for running!

    Ironically motivation comes after you start. Once you see results, the motivation will be there to keep you going.

    Feel free to add me! Getting started is the hard part. Once you start, you will continue as you start to make changes.
