I was wondering if just anyone can join this group? I really have never been an avid runner but I really have been wanting to learn more on conditioning my body to become one and hopefully get to the point of races. I did when I was younger but it's been some years. I recently injured my foot but I am looking into everything now so I can be prepared once my foot has recovered and I am able.

Welcome Leela and 1stinap!

Did 6.2 miles today. Ran with my friend that has a bit of a slower pace than me, so it took longer than what I would have liked...but...I was out there nonetheless. Man, was it yucky and humid out there today!

Shannon - I've never worn a knee brace. I was a runner 20 years ago but am new to running as of 4 months ago. This is the first time my knee has really acted up since I started running again. I do have an old injury - torn ligament - in that knee. Do they help? Thanks for the interest

Well, I did it - I signed up for the half marathon in town on September 7. I think if I can keep my pace down, I'll be able to do it. The last 3 races (5-10Ks) I did about 8:30 miles. I'm shooting for under 2 hours, but would really like to be able to just run the whole thing!

I'm taking the day off running (I think). I haven't had a day off of exercise in 8 days, I think I"m due

OH MY GOD!!!! I just read your post and thought..funny...I am signing up for a local 1/2 marathon on Sept 7th! Yeah....checked your profile.....Hello from Sioux Falls!!! :-) Born and raised baby!

Anyway....today is my circut day so no run....but I am going to get up early tomorrow and do 5 1/2...gotta try to beat the heat!

Happy Running!

I have not posted in a while. But I have not given in, and have continued to exercise and run and eat healthy. I ran 3.5 miles today. I have achieved a 30 lb weight loss, and am darn near broke from having to buy new clothes (That is catually a good thing) I am really starting to notice a great deal of difference in my physical appearance, as well as how I feel. I FEEL GREAT. I think I have also motivated my wife into joining this community. Thanks a bunch everyone and good luck on this journey of a healthy life. It has been truely amazing for me thus far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
