This was when I participated in the Cap City Half Marathon in Columbus. I had joined MFP one week earlier.

And this was the Columbus Half Marathon 4 1/2 months later and 70-80 lbs. lighter.

    Just signed up for my first. Have about 70 lbs to lose to be in "ideal" (medical, not my own) healthy range. But hoping/planning/working to cross the finish line in 20 weeks anyway. Was there a pace per mile set for yours or just an open finish?

    The Half that I ran in May I finished in 3:08. In October my time was 2:16. In both cases the course was open for 4 hours, so that would require a per mile pace of about 18-18:30 per mile.

    Thanks for all the kind comments. I was very in to running back in 2008-2009 then stopped for a while, so I'm glad to be back running and be back to a weight that allows me to run.
