What I would like to gain from this competition:
Endurance and strength. I really want to push myself physically again. I hate running but am excited to see if I can do a half marathon by the end of the summer. I also do not like seeing this recent jiggling my body has started doing. It is time to get some muscle back! I also really want to get my mile time back down to at least 7 minutes.

My stategy for success:
The biggest thing is going to be doing cardio 5-6 times a week. At least 4 of those need to be runs. I will follow a plan from a running web site to help me get up to the 13 miles I need for the half marathon. I also need to start eating healthier by eating normal portions and "beefing" up the veggie/fruit intake. I've also arranged to start working out with an old roommate. Who doesn't love a workout buddy?

My challenges:I really love food. It has been difficult for me to start eating like a normal person. Also, I haven't quite figured out how to balance a the schedule when I come home from work with everything else that needs to be done. Also, to be honest, I have become lazy. Eating healthy is harder since my cute little husband doesn't see it as the same level of priority as I do.
