    i am new on here. i have a lot of weight to lose. i own an elliptical and never used the thing until 10 days ago. well im in love with it. and i have built myself up to using it over an hour a day. i have seen a local 5k run advertised in april. is it crazy of me to think i could do this? what would you recommend i do to train for something like this?

    what would i recommend? for you to get outside or even get on a treadmill and run. elliptical is not going to help you train for a race

    I did my first half in October and am hoping to do another half in 2013, but probably not until the fall. I'm kinda hoping to put together a relay team for the Flying Pig Marathon (Cincinnati) in May, if I can get 4-5 friends on board with me. :)

    I'm doing a weekly 5k starting from tomorrow and have the Great North Run (half marathon) penciled in my calendar for September but that all depends on successfully getting a place.

    Yup, Derry NH and all my Running Buddies live in MA. The half in lowell is both a half and a full marathon. It boasts the most runners qualifying for the Boston Marathon. The full marathon is twice around the half course. I'd like to possibly qualify for the Boston Marathon by the time I'm 50, I turn 43 in March so I have some years to get up to speed and distance for that matter but first things first, I have to be able to run a marathon at all. My longest run to date is 8 miles and that's because my running app told me I had run 4 miles and I was 4 miles away from my car so I had to run back.

    I'll be 41 in april. my original goal was to make the boston marathon my first ever marathon but then found out i have to qualify by running a marathon. new goal is to run the boston before i'm 45. 8 miles is awesome! i'm in the 6 - 6.5 miles range right now and that's only been once. lol!
