I am new to running. I was always overweight and then after I had my twins I got motivated to lose weight. I have lost a little over 90 lbs. This year I started training just to run a 5k then I received a mailing one day about a marathon and thought...I want to do something big, something great, so I found a book on training and started my journey.

I registered for the Chicago Marathon the day registration opened, I had only began running at that time. For me it was do it or you'll put it off. Over Memorial Day weekend, on Saturday, I ran 14 miles in 2hrs 32min. Then on Monday, Memorial Day, I ran my first race, a 5k, and ran it in 27min 4sec. I was second in my age group and got a trophy...my first race. It was awesome.
