Saying Hello!!

Hello, my name is Sara. I am 44 years old and trying new things to better my health. I have been a non smoker for 2 years. I have started running around the same time and I'm training for my second half marathon. Since quitting smoking I have gained 30+ pounds. I am looking to lose weight, lower my cholesterol and gain knowledge about being healthy. Good luck to us all!!!

    There is an MFP monthly running thread I found in February. It is the best, most committed and support group of people I've ever found on MFP. I've been at it for seven months or so. Check it out, and maybe when the new October thread comes out you'll step up and join the group.
