Hi, I'm new to this group and or the myfitnesspal community. I just registered for my first half marathon. I am a beginner runner and have only done a few 5k's. But I promised myself that I would run this and I have had an excuse every year. But not this year. I look forward to any and all comments, support and friendships that this group has to offer. Happy running

    Welcome to the group and MFP. Congrats on signing up for your first half. Are you following a training plan? I like to use the Smartcoach from www.runnersworld.com. Check it out.

    Hello! I also am a new runner (and new to this group) and just signed up for my first half marathon at the end of the year! Hows your training coming so far?

    Welcome!! You will surprise yourself by what you can do. My first HM looked like Mt Everest and I was scared to death. I remember the training was hard, and I didn't think I could do it. I surprised myself and loved it. I start training for my third one next week and I can hardly wait. I'm doing the Myrtle Beach Mini Marathon in October -
