Wannabee Runner

tauress26

Hi! I'm not all that new to MFP but was gone for a few months. I never really explored the community support here but have learned after taking up running that support and advice can be so helpful! I put I'm a wannabee runner because I've done a 5k, but have reigstered for a half and a full marathon this year and am hoping to grow into a runner by then. 32, mom of 2 little girls, recently divorced, work full time, and while I'm at an ok weight, there is so much potential to be more fit! Looking to get my dream body by late April and be the best version of myself yet. Would love to make new friends here!

Congrats! I just registered for my first marathon as well. Typically they say you should start training about 5 months before a marathon. You should be good, there are alot of training schedules out there that can be very helpful and will keep you on track. Good luck!!!!
