So, I have struggled over many years with my weight. The last two years have been better than the rest after losing approximated 70 pounds. I found a new passion, running. Last February I had signed up for my first marathon and after not finishing the first one (more on that story later) I did succeed in another marathon, a month later.
Anyway, so this year I wanted to keep up with my running passion yet have a different goal. The marathon(s) about killed my knees and I'm only in my mid-30's. Yikes! However, I am still learning and after researching online and via books, I keep finding new stretches and strength training that I wasn't the greatest at trying before. I heard about this new challenge via a women's running club that I follow on Facebook.
It can be free to sign-up although I did pay some to get a t-shirt and a medal. Hey, it's become sort-of a habit but I think it's a good one, right? I think it's perfect for me and it will keep me motivated all year long. There is also a support group on Facebook and it's very motivational and helpful to see many others going through the same challenge.
I will keep my blog updated on my progress.
