we had a biggest loser thread going like a year or so ago.
i've actually bumped up my workouts, too. I committed to participating in the Ragnar Relay (Relay race from Chattanooga, TN to Nashville, TN, run over the course of 2 days). Using it as motivation to actually get out and run/train (and i hate running).
I can say with confidence that I will NEVER run a marathon, but this sounded like a cool opportunity to get back into shape.
