Ok so last year my friend and I decided to randomly enter a 5k pick your time race. We both ran it together in 34 minutes and after that day I felt great. This was a big accomplishment for me because I stopped running 4 years ago because my asthma was too irritating. But she had a baby and was working on losing the baby fat so I wanted to be there to support her (she also had/has asthma). My new goal is to be able to run the 1/2 marathon on father's day as part of the manitoba marathon in Winnipeg Manitoba. I am currently only up to 2.5 miles in 1/2 an hour. Does anyone have any suggestions for training, like by how much i should be increasing my mileage in a week. What kind of diet should have. I'm currently at 1200 calories before exercise. Anyone that can help with advice or facts or anything would be great! :) thanks btw I LOVE MFP my boyfriend thinks i'm a dork but i think it's better than being addicted to facebook or any of the apps on there like he is haha
