Hello all!

I just joined, hoping to be successful (of course...be silly to join hoping to fail, right?) and looking for motivation. I have a really good friend on here, but she's cross country (Hi Annie!). Would love to find any folks from St. Louis (West County) on here who might be interested in setting up some sort of fitness group????

Good luck!

    My ex lives out in House Springs :) Very familiar with it. I like to run too...was actually contemplating a 1/2 marathon about 1.5 years ago, but then I became blob-like and it never happened. I'd like to work back up to it again. I would probably fall over dead after running a mile at this point! Do you run in the winter?

    I sure do... I started running last year in May/June at about 230/225 and got myself down to 196 in mid Oct. I am currently seeing anywhere from 200 to 203 every day because I slacked off on the running... started back up full force this week and I realized i missed it. a time to clear my head. When I started I barely ran a 1/10th of a mile without gasping and feeling like I was going to implode. I just kept trying for a minute longer than the last time and worked it like that till I was up to 45 minutes without a problem, then I actually looked at how far I was running ;) Weird process probably but it worked for me. Now I have to get back to running 45/60 minutes a morning....

    thank you for the add... welcome to MFP

    Hey,

    I live out in St. Charles. I also just started using this website. I have just began my exercise plan in the last week. I will try to be on here every day, so if you are in need of some motivation just shoot me a message on here. I will send you both a friends request. Good luck to both of you. Demery keep up the good work.

    Ryan

    YEP. St. Charles County here. Specifically Lake St. Louis. There's a group too. Search St. Louis in the "groups" tab. Always love "local" friends. Feel free to friend me.
