I am a new runner too. I started in March in the cool Minnesota weather and am learning to adjust to running in the humidity. I run 4 miles in the mornings before the rest of my house wakes up, so at least 16 miles a week with a day or two of biking mixed in to give my legs a bit of a break. I did my first 5K this summer and am planning to do a couple 10K's and a sprint triathalon next summer. My long term goals include a half marathon in 2013 and a full one by 2014.

I'm a new runner (started with C25K in January), currently training for a 12k race at the end of August.
I'm finding it hard at the moment as I'm in winter and it's not easy to get outside when it's wet and cold and dark... bring on summer, then I can get out early and enjoy the sunshine - as long as I go at 6am to beat the heat.
Welcome aboard!

Feel free to add me (or any of you other runners). I've been running since the mid-80s (as a kid). Currently training for a 30K trail race with over 4500' elevation gain.
Welcome aboard!

I am a beginning runner and a Bingham fan too. I just finished Courage to Start and am making my way through No Need For Speed. Good luck with the final 5.
