I ran in HS, then in College I did not have the time/ambition to work out and I blew up to 185 lbs of flab. I lost that pretty easy once I changed my eating habits and started running again.

For the past 10 years I have been running and staying in the 145 - 155 lbs range. I'd like to add some lean muscle mass.

I have always done a little weight lifting just to maintain some strength and to obtain muscle balance to avoid injuries while running. Running has always been my primary fitness activity and I usually run a marathon every fall then take the winter off to recover. This year I decided to take that time to add some bulk muscle then cut in the spring to see how it impacts my running. I also wanted to finally shake the skinny runner look.

I love seeing results. I like to set personal goals and track my progress towards them. I love to eat, and working out lets me do a lot more of that :)
