kanjigirl Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hi, I've been reading the blog for a month or so but have just joined and got the fitness guide. I'm a web developer, desk job, but (when in great shape) I'm definitely a Ranger type, athletic build and a little of everything workout-wise. I lost 50 lbs about 8 years ago and started working on re-losing 28 of it a couple of months ago, rather half-heartedly. But now I've made good progress at making running a habit again and am down 20 lbs to go. I need some help with strength training, I'm doing the Angry Birds workout along with short runs now but want to do more (without getting injured). I've done a couple of half-marathons years ago and have signed up for a 10K in May. That's my next big goal running-wise. I'm also playing racquetball weekly again which is awesome cross-training, and tracking my food with My Fitness Pal. I'm looking forward to joining the next Challenge too. Happy to be here, looking for connections for mutual support/encouragement. Are there groups I should join?

Sifter Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hello! I'm new here too. You might consider the Scouts b/c of your interest in running. I joined that forum yesterday. I am also adding strength training into my routine for the first time in years. I started with the beginner body weight workout and am now using the NF Fitness Guide Level 2 Recruit workouts. Hope to see you over in the Scouts! I am working on my goals for the next challenge.
