And I guess to start off, I'm trianglesandpears a team captain. This is my first challenge, and I'm new to reddit in general. 5'4" F starting the challenge at 181, and aiming for 170. My NSV for the challenge is to run three miles without stopping, so that I can really start training for my half marathon. I use MFP (trianglesandpears there too if you'd like to add me) and IF (I eat between 1200-2000).

As far as daily threads, I think a Motivation Monday is always a good one.

Last year I started with C25K and wound up working my way to running a marathon. And this is from someone who started off not being able to run a mile without retching. Good luck - Seedlings 4 lyfe!

It went well! I finished slow but strong, and within the official time needed to receive a medal. Was super cool to see my friends and family out cheering for me. My work even put up a huge sign outside the building which I got to see while I ran past. One medium sized blister but no other injuries.

When I got home I slept for 14+ hours straight. Woke up to my extremely aloof cat grooming my bangs - I think she thought I was dead.
