New Here!

[StitchGirl]

Hi everyone!

I'm a semi-lurker, and I just really stumbled onto the WISH board! I joined in the threads above, but I thought I'd post here too!

I'm on the WW Core program right now, and I'm also training for the half-marathon in January! Hope to lose 20-30 lbs by then!

It's nice to meet all of you!

I'm new as well! I could never run a marathon, I have a hard time with a mile. Good luck!

Thanks everyone!

CrazyDreamer-- don't ever say you can't!! I was never a runner, then I was, then I wasn't, and now I am again....

...When I started running the first time, I couldn't even run 30 seconds!! I started by running 15 seconds for every 5 minutes of walking-- not a lot at all! I verrrry slowly worked my way up to being able to run pretty continuously without stopping for long periods of time.

I stopped when I went back to school, so it's been a couple years, but now that I'm running again, it certainly wasn't as hard to get there-- I'll get to 3 miles of continuous running next week-- that will be 5 weeks!

if it's something you want to do-- try it!
