Runners! Need friends for half mara training!

crittergirl222

Hello! I did it-signed up for my first half marathon in September. Really need friends to check in with frequently and keep me motivated (and not terrified!). Would also really like to drop some lbs by that time as well (and not experience the dreaded marathon training weight gain!).

Let's be friends!!

For checking in frequently, it's hard to beat the monthly running challenge threads:


July 2017 Running Challenge
List of past and current running challenges

The current challenge thread moves pretty quickly, and has people participating at levels from working on C25K up to and including training for a 100K trail race. A few of us run marathons, several of us run half marathons, there's a lot of discussion about how to train.
