I'm gonna run a marathon!

It all started when i stepped on the scales a week ago. I was sickened to see that I in fact, registered the same weight as I was 3 days before giving birth to my first child! Holiday eating and no running since Thanksgiving combined into an unprecedented weight gain of huge proportions.

Usually I just cut down on my eating (i.e.-avoid my mid morning Peanut butter Twix and run at least 3 days a week and presto- I shed my holiday pounds. Well, I've never seen this weight outside of pregnancy so drastic times call for drastic measures! I decided the best way to kick start my running and weight loss for 2008 is to sign up for a marathon.

I promptly signed up to run in May and then went to www.runnersworld.com and downloaded the marathon trainers program.

I'll keep you posted on my progress---
