Keep on running!
I am thoroughly enjoying running now, and while I'd love to lose those last 2-3 pounds that seem to be stuck, that is no longer my focus. My fitness level has continued to improve over the past couple years, and the more varied types of running I do (long distances, speedwork, etc.), the faster I'm getting! It's wonderful to continue to see improvements! I want to maintain a level of fitness so that I could run a 10K whenever I felt like it, and from there, a half marathon isn't much more ...

And now I have this idea that a marathon isn't as crazy of an idea as it used to be!

My Goals:
I have decided to train for a marathon that is scheduled for Sept. 2013!

My Program:
I run about 3 days per week and do Zumba 1-2 times per week.

My name is Jessica and I live in NW/North Central PA with my husband, son, 2 basset hounds, and a cat.
