I'm trying to start fresh and get back into shape (and actually mean it this time!!). I am an exercise science major and should not have let myself fall into the trap of coming home right after work, eating junk food, and when I do run make it half ass and not have any meaning to it. I am a runner, since the 7th grade I've been running which half my life. I've always considered myself an athlete, and I like to train like one. My current goal is to get a good base of 4 weeks running in and go from there in deciding my next race. I'm starting all over again with low mileage and working my way up, progression is the only safe and pain free way to go....Let's go to work!
