Welcome to Endorphin!

If you have even the slightest interest in setting a goal and achieving it or are just looking for a fun way to achieve a previously set goal, then you've come to the right spot...or blogspot. Well, you might ask, what kind of goals are you talking about? Let us offer a few specific examples. Your goal might be to run three miles without breaking, or to improve your 5k, 10k, half-marathon, or marathon race performances, or to run a marathon, or to just get healthier (you can never be too much of the adjective), be it through running and/or one or more of the countless other forms of physical activity, and every time you attempt to achieve it, you fail, for lack of motivation, encouragement...or even due to injury. This blog, Endorphin, and all its contributors--your teammates--are the solution to your problem. Post your goal, be it in your profile or on the Dashboard, and report on progress (the more frequently, the better). Report anything, everything--be creative! Anything from the activity to your mood pre- and post-workout to what you ate for dinner the night before. These are only examples, however, but information like this will allow your peers, fellow Endorphinites, to comment (constructive-only) on your experiences and progress, which will, ultimately, leave you checking off a goal on your list of goals to achieve. Not only will you achieve your goal, you'll be a better and a smarter runner and/or cyclist, swimmer, weight-lifter, walker, among many other athletes, for it, and well on your way to heart-health and, if you're lucky, the 'high' supposedly caused by endorphin production! If you're at all interested in contributing here and, more importantly, to your health, then shoot me or Dan an email (ryan.lamanna@gmail.com or danielgbritton@gmail.com, respectively) for an invitation. We look forward to meeting our new teammates!
Cheers,
Ryan and Dan
