Brand new here and to running!
Hello all!
I am brand new to running and here! My husband, Erik, lost 55 lbs last year and his weight loss was a kick start to a healthier family life for us all. We changed all of our eating habits, switched to a lot of organic foods and really talked to our kids about health and fitness. I started walking more but didn't go further than that. Erik did a triathlon last year and has been really getting into shape. Two weeks ago we were in Disney and met a couple that trained together for a year and ran their 1/2 marathon together. After talking to them, I realized that it was something I wanted to do and Erik was so thrilled that I finally got the running/fitness bug.
So, here I am. I got fitted for running sneakers yesterday and we bought an elliptical trainer too. I am here for support and ADVICE! 
Thanks!
Jane

Re: Brand new here and to running!
Hey MamaMoose, welcome to RunningMoms! We're here to support you as you journey down this new running path. No matter your experience or level, it's all about just getting out there and doing it.
I have friends (a married couple) that started running as a weight loss activity, lost a ton of weight, and now are accomplished marathoners. I mention this because your Disney story reminded me of them. One of the races they did was the Goofy, which is a 1/2 marathon on Saturday and full marathon on Sunday at Disney World. Of course, the same couple also ran a marathon on the Great Wall of China.
I'm happier with lower mileage...more like 3-5 miles 3x per week unless I'm training for something.
Please feel free to ask questions, email, post or bounce ideas off all of us here. Whether about running or kiddos, we're all about it!
Good luck! Can't wait to ultimately read your first race report - or even run one together
!
Best,
Dani
