I'm training for my first half marathon and have only about 4 weeks to go. Looking for like minded individuals who want to share the experience. last year I ran 5k's, 10k and a 15k. This year the goal is the 1/2. I never imagined myself being able to run a mile without stopping but now I have ran 10.5 miles without stopping. The weekly mileage is around 30, this also blows my mind. I always secretly wanted to be a runner but never thought I would actually be a runner. I got that "I'm a runner" realization about 6 weeks in, now I feel as though I was made to run.

I get faster as the run progresses, not slower. Tuesday I started at 10:45 at mile 1 and ended at 8:55 for mile six. Holy smokes!!! I know there are people running much faster (for you I am happy), I'm looking for those 1st timers like myself to share there stories.
