Hey y'all...anyone from down south??

Hey - my name's Haley and I am down here in Louisiana. I have never been athletic, but after graduating High School and being in college for 3 years I have put on about 15 pounds. I always set high goals and standards for myself, and there's no reason that shouldn't apply to my health and body.

I think we all agree that we are better people when we are healthy! Less stress, happier, look better, more sleep - the benefits are endless! Like I said, I have never accomplished anything athletically related, and I've been wanting to try triathlons for about a year now. I plan to do some hardcore prep for at least 6 months then maybe try a light duathlon or something of the sort...if anyone is from east texas or southwest Louisiana, maybe we can buddy up for a couple of races?!

If not, I'm open to anyone who just wants someone to chit-chat with about training and races!

I'm pulling for all you other beginners...if your'e like me a little motivation never hurt!!

Good Luck!
