Idealist hiding behind snarky humor and a five course dinner
I originally joined SparkPeople in 2/2013 for one reason only: to look good in my interview suit! Because I am 20+ years older than most of my college and job market competitors, I was very concerned that I look at least as fit as they did (if not better!) Other mature Sparkers have motivated me to try new things. I discovered I love to run, which is an epiphany. ME, uncoordinated, asthmatic me! Thank you, dear Sparkies!

My Goals:
4/13/2013: New goal: weigh 2 Sollys by end of summer. Started out weighing 2 Sollys plus one and a half Earls. 5/13: Have signed up for some 5ks. Itching to increase fitness level to run a half marathon by next spring! Also noticed I can't flex left arm anymore to make a muscle due to nerve damage. Hmmm.. didn't realize it had gotten that pathetic. Working on evening out arm strength, too.
My Program:
3/13 - I always enjoy working on my farmette and walking my standard poodle. Additionally, I rejoined the YMCA, where I attempt to study science nerd books while racewalking on the treadmill. I try not to look absurdly uncoordinated and lopsided in Arses in Old Lace, Great Gaspies and Agony and Ex-Sexy exercise classes. I'm afraid I am the unintentional comic relief for the class, even with my mouth closed.
Personal Information:
Interests: Jewish history, immunology, gerontology, natural farming, hiking, dogs, wildlife, music made by real people... and as of May, 2013, RUNNING! Look out, Oregon!
Other Information:
Devouring running articles, blogs and books. Trying not to care that my weight loss has stalled because my endurance has increased.
