in Introduce Yourself
Hi all!

My name is Jeni and I am a woman on a journey. I am 23 years old and I live in Sussex County, NJ with my fiance and our dog Mia.

I am here because I want to be fit, gain more strength, and have better control over my anxiety.

I will be floating around the forum as much as I can and appreciate all and any positive feedback and inspiration/motiviation. :)

My first goal is to run the Color Run 5K in Philadelphia on July 8th. Wish me luck!

    Have fun with the 5K! Just started training for a half marathon in September. Looking to cut down on my time.

    Wow, that's so great! My fiance's goal is to run a half marathon as well. This will be both our first 5K races but he's already running 5k 1x to 2x a week with a running club near his work. I would like to as well, I just want to get some 5K under my belt first! Something I would really love to do is run a Tough Mudder or mud race :)

    Good luck on the 5k! The color run sounds like so much fun, I am planning on signing up for one near my town.

    Do you walk your dog? I always hearsd that dog owners are more fit because of that.

    @megarrett87 - thanks! I kept eying it and finally decided it was time to sign up!

    @mostlywater - I do! Not every morning but when we do, we go out for a walk for about 10 minutes before I leave for work. When it's nicer we're more prone to taking longer walks in the morning, plus another one at night [only in the summer when it's really warm out! I hate being cold :(] Plus I run around with her in the backyard so we both get a little bit of exercise!
