in Introduce Yourself
Hey, I'm new and would love some friends/adds for support! Motivating, wonderful site. I'm 25 and a runner -but my weight/exercise is plateaued and I need a change! I'm hoping to revamp my routine, lose about 10 pounds and add some strength training.
Any other new folks or more experienced posters, add me if you want. Looking for inspiration and i can already tell this site is awesome.

    I'll add you! I'm training for my first half-marathon in two weeks and I also do triathlons. I've recently started adding more weight training and think it's really showing good results :)

    you're going the right way by adding weights. the muscle you strengthen will burn more calories! I used to run, now I walk... at 47, my knees are telling me to be gentle! :noway: :laugh:
