Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?' - Peter Maher, Irish-Canadian Olympian and sub-2:12 marathoner

Start of my goals

What is the category for under a beginner, because that is what I am.
No running for me in over 4 years, sometimes I get into walking for short periods of time.
I have ran off and on most of my life with exception of last 4 years.
I have ran a few 5 Ks for fun and would like to run a marathon before I turn 30 (that and a triathalon have always been goals)
I have two little boys, 14 months and 3 months. We have a double jog stroller coming on the 1st of August. Mostly I want to have them grow up with healthy lifestyle models. We are making a shift in our diet to more healthy, more raw meals and we already feel better just from that.

Short term goals:
Work out 4 times a week, minimum.
Think one positive thought about myself and running everyday (positive affirmations)
Drink 1 gallon of water daily.

Long term goals:
Loose the 80lbs I have gained over the past 5 years.
Marathon in 2 years
Triathalon in 2 years

Hey!

Way to break up your goals. I'm excited that you're getting the double jog stroller. We'll make sure we're putting it to good use.

I just want to say one more time that I really want everyone at any level to benefit from this. The workouts are hopefully going to be customized enough for a person that's never run to be able to do it.

I think with the exception of a couple girls, a lot of us are coming from past where we were superactive and healthy and lately have fallen into a bit of a slump. That's why were here.

I'm excited that you are here. Sounds like we need to get you started on the fun run circut pretty soon! ;-) Only if you want to...it helps with the marathon training.
