Hi everyone!  Don't know if anyone remembers me ... I've been taking a "way too long" break from running and got myself into a weird funk so I wasn't keeping up on the boards.  But, I'm back with the running routine and exercising everyday again.  And I'm working towards another half marathon in May. 

So, just wanted to pop my head in here to say "HI!" and let you know I'm having fun reading all your posts and catching up on where you're at!

Hi Deanna,

Welcome back!  I've been wondering where you've been.  Glad to hear you've left that funk in the dust by setting your sights on another finish line.  Which half are you signed up for?

Hi Cassie!

Yep, it's good to get back into running!  I can tell that my weight stays off better when I'm running regularly!  It's something I just have to do for me!

The half I'm aiming for is the Eugene Half/Full Marathon on May 3.  There is the Portland Full Marathon I'm seriously considering in October.  I've never done a full marathon so we'll see how this spring goes and how ambitious I get!

5 months should be plenty of time to train for a full after your half!

Glad to have you back.  I wondered where you were.  Good luck on your training for the half in May.  Should be a breeze for you.

Hey girl!  I've been wondering how you were doing!  You should sign up for some sort of race ... give yourself something to aim for!  I know if I sign up for them and pay for them, then I feel obligated.  Anyway, that is my goal right now!  I just gotta get back in the game to keep this weight off!  I'd ideally like to lose a little more but I don't think my body wants to give up anymore fat!  Haha!
