Aging Rebel Straggles in from Texas

[Beth A (Lady Readsalot)]

Hi from Houston. I found an ad for Nerd Fitness in my latest Runner's World. Bought myself a membership as a birthday present. I have a 200 mile a day commute, an 8 year old, and need to get tenure, so I'm a little busy, but I also really want to get back in shape and be able to complete half-marathons much faster than I am going these days (an hour slower than my already slow PR). I tend to be very motivated by nerdy game-type things, so this seemed like a perfect way to structure getting back in shape and pursuing other goals.
