Any Mississippi beginning runners out there?

I am interested in training for a half marathon in November or December if anyone wants to work on that or even a smaller distance with me. There are a couple races at the end of the year that look promising. I have lost 35 pounds since having a baby last year. I am 38 years old, so it took me a little longer to bounce back. I had surgery a few weeks ago and had to do no exercise except for slow walking for 6 weeks, so I am trying to get back in shape. Needless to say, I didn't eat well during my recovery either. My husband is going overseas and I am a stress eater that's for sure. I am working on that, it is better, but not gone. I gained 10 of my pounds back and am working on losing those and possible setting a race as a goal. Really I just want to finish without walking, not break any records. I thought it might be nice to communicate with someone in Mississippi who had a goal they were working towards. Any takers?
