Eat Real Foods, Lift Weights and Run a Lot.

Hello! My name is Debra, and I started exercising in January of 2010, initially motivated by my engagement. I had put on 40 pounds in grad school, but was always overweight. Now, I'm married and I'm back to my pre-grad-school weight, but would like to lose another 15 pounds.

Along the way, I've developed a love of running...especially in races. I completed my first 5K in April 2010, my first Half Marathon in March 2011, and the Marine Corps Marathon in October, 2011.

Fitness Minutes: 28,835

My Goals:
I want to be healthy and fit. And look cute in my clothes :-)

Along the way:

1. Continue to beat my 5K race time (PR 27:24)

2. Run a 10K race (DONE! PR 63:54)

3. Run a half-marathon (DONE! PR 2:08:14)

4. Run a marathon (MCM 10/30/11. DONE! PR 5:16:10)

My Program:
In 2011 I ran my first half marathon...and my first marathon. I am struggling to develop a "maintenance" running program. I'm no good without a race on the horizon!

Generally, I run 4 times a week, for 20ish miles total.

I should lift weights twice a week, but it ends up being more like once a week. I'm also trying to do some stationary biking at the gym too.

Personal Information:
Currently living in Fairfax, VA but previously lived in Ohio for ten years.

Go Buckeyes!

Other Information:
Dead Last Finish is greater than Did Not Finish, which greatly trumps Did Not Start.

YAY, congrats!! When are you due?

I did the same thing while I was pregnant with DD (both to keep weight gain in check and make sure I was eating the right things) and it helped so much!

You're amazing to keep running though... I don't know that I could have handled that!

Keep it up!! (And let me know when you need jogging stroller recommendations!)

Thanks for your comment on my blog. It seems like we're almost living parallel lives, though I'm a year behind you. Hope you're having a great week!
