Any upcoming races?
Does anyone have any races in the near future? I'm running the IceCube 10K in Mt. Pleasant, MI on Saturday.

My fastest 10k was in 2008, so I'm pretty excited about it!

I DID IT!!! I was slow but so happy that I met my goal! Next goal: finish a 10k (walk breaks ok if needed). I'm already looking for a…

A little over a month ago I started tracking on mfp and have lost 6 lbs so far. Last night the trainer re-did the body comp and my body fat…

I have been working with a trainer for 5 weeks now. I have never been able to do a full pushup. By week 3, I was able to struggle through 2. Last night - 3 sets of 10!!!
