Anyone else training for a Marathon around Sept 22nd?...... I have never even done a half marathon but I am already able to run 12 miles so I figured I could do a 20 week training program...

I would love more friends who like to run, novice and experts, to help me stay motivated and give some advice


Please add me :)

    I started running 2years ago (could't run across the street at that time). Ran 3 - 1/2's last year and 1 this year in Feb. I'm training right now for my first full on Father's day this June. It's definitely gonna take commitment and work but success is only 26.2 miles away. You can add me if you'd like.

    I joined a running club about 3 years ago and before that would have never dreamed of calling myself a runner. I follow the Jeff Galloway training with walk breaks and have completed 3 half marathons and 1 full marathon. Looking forward to 2 more half marathons in May. Running a half or the full 26.2 race is such a great feeling of accomplishment and always so much fun to meet new people with the same interests. Set your goal and put in the miles and you will succeed!

    I ran my first marathon Jan 15 2012. I trained long and hard! I'm not a real fast runner, and @62 I completed it in 7 hrs. I have run 3 H marathons prior to the full! The training is most important. Interval training is as equally important! Good luck as you continue to train. You Can Do This!:smile:
