in Introduce Yourself
Hi all,

My name is Sandy. I am a distance runner trying to lose some pounds. I have run 2 half marathons and completed my 1st full at the Marine Corps Marathon in October. I have been running 5K races so far since the MCM but start training this week for 2 halfs I will run in March. Something I could not do training for the MCM was to lose weight. I will add strength training to my workouts this time. I want to lose at least 30 pounds. I came upon this site to log food intake and excericse. I look forward chatting with others with similar goals.
