First Post

Welcome to my training site. I'm going to keep track of my training here to run this race on May 6. I'm also going to keep track of my weight, as this is all part of the plan to drop 15-20 pounds before summer (the babyweight, plus a little extra). Oh, and my other major problem is not drinking enough water, so I'll keep track of that here, too.

Last week I ran 0.6 miles on Thursday. I was scheduled to run on Saturday, but didn't do it becuase I was too wiped from being up all night with my sleep regression boy. Next run scheduled for Tuesday morning.
