Thank you for the support and info everyone!

I don't see my 'topic' in the list on the Scouts forum. I'm really new to this sort of thing, so I'm not sure at this point if anyone else can see them either. If you read this, would you respond just so I know if I'm posting correctly? Thank you!

Had a realization yesterday that lifting three times a week might make my running goals harder to pursue- and that's the real priority right now with the marathon looooooming... So- I'm thinking the new goal will look thus: Strength train (I'm using the Stronglifts 5x5 method) at least two days a week the entire month. That should do it. Onward!

Greetings, everyone! I'm really excited to be here. I've been a shadow-follower of NF for two years, Questing alone. This challenge, I'm finally coming around to forming a Fellowship! My Quests this Challenge are: Fitness: -Complete a ten mile run by March 25th -Strength train (I'm using the Stronglifts 5x5 method) three days a week the entire month -Nix refined sugar until March 25th (and beyond?) Life: -I'm a bookbinder, so this is a professional/hobby goal for me: Make 3 or more journals using hand-printed paper handmade bookcloth The greater Boss Battle awaiting me is a marathon (my first!) in mid-June. I would love any advice or training wisdom from elder-scouts who have successfully combined marathon training and a strength program! Happy Questing, all. Looking forward to getting to know you finally! -Thrush
