These are the races I want to set out and do this year.  I'm going to start training tonight to gear up for the races in the fall season.  There's a 10k, a 13k and possibly a half marathon in there somewheres.  It's ambitious, I know, but I have to set high goals to give me good reasons to stick to it.  Doing it for myself never sticks.  But if I do it for training, then I'll complete it.  I'm 140 pounds right now.  I hope this season, I can drop some of those pounds, and put up some of my best numbers ever.  I'm going to try and keep track of my weight loss, running progress, motivation, recipes, and just general stuff here.  Just like the good ole' days.  :-D
