Getting Back in Shape!

[krishouse]

Hi everyone,
I am hoping to embark on the journey of health and fitness, with the all time goal of mostly running the 1/2 marathon in January at Disney World.

My husband I completed the 1/2 in 2008 but I was not as prepared or as strong as I could have been. I have had a tough couple of years since the race and unfortunately have gained atleast 20 pounds.
I am getting into the right frame of mind and would like to join a team if possible, I realize how important support is and I know that whenever I have joined any Dis groups I have met the most amazing people in the world...

My goal is to lose 40- 45 pounds, and to be able to run more than walk.

My name is Kristin House and I am 36 years old, I have just gone back to school after many years and I have come to realize that if I can do that I can do anything!!!!!
Thanks everyone
K

Hello from another Canadian!!!! I am just north of Toronto.

I have very similar goals as you do, lose the same amount of weight and although I haven't officially registered yet but I want to mostly jog my races in January.

Good luck and hope to follow your success over the next 10 ish months.
