ACorn,

Hi. I hate stretching! Probably should take the time to do that...but I hate stretching! I think I remember you saying you were six feet...not sure what you weigh but you look solid from the pic. Good Luck with your goals. Looking forward to reading about your progress.

Thanks PRE. I am a little over six feet tall. I used to lift weights lots but now the upper body muscle is counterproductive. I'm definitely not fat just too bulky for a distance runner.

Great goals! Your weight goal caught my eye, especially in relation to your height. I'm 6'3 and would like to drop down towards 160 (currently 170)? Obviously eating right'll be a key part, but when I cut my calories down, my legs pay for it on the recovery end.

Long story short, how do you plan to get down in weight?

I like those goals... that stretching one seems like the toughest! :-)

Looks like some good and obtainable goals. It was so chilly out there this morning. We need to try some track 5Ks in the spring.
