Background

To give everyone a little background on us. My brother in law and I are two guys who have been running road races for the past few years. I, unfortunately, had taken a little time off running due to having a child, but am back in this full force. My goal when I first started running was to be able to eat whatever I wanted and run to keep the weight off. That goal quickly changed into me wanting to run a marathon. I always had this as a goal, but never quite got there. This past year, as I was at the highest weight I had ever been, I decided to get back into running to get the weight off. After I started running, the marathon goal quickly came back to me. This time, instead of just saying I was going to do it, I signed up for the Disney Marathon in January of 2012. This pushed me into taking running more seriously and starting a training program. Between then and now, I have been training, running some races, but most importantly, have lost 50 lbs that I needed to. Now, I feel pretty great. Also, Johnny (my brother in law) and I have decided that our next goal (after the marathon) will be triathlons. We will eventually like to get to a full triathlon, but that will take a little bit of time. For now, we are having fun competing in races.
