    Nothing wrong with walking in between

    Good that you signed up, this goal will help you to get out
    One thing I did before my first half marathon? I signed up for my second one

    Do that, do not find an excuse to never do it again

    :-) pulling for you

    I am going to sign up for a second one as a matter of fact. My dad is running one in May, so if I can't run the whole thing in April it will just give me that much more motivation to be able to do it in May! Thank you for the encouragement, I appreciate it.

    I started c25k at 300 or so pounds. The training is intended to be 9 weeks so you have time, I took a little longer. I ran my first 5k race in early December, another Jan 19th. Last week I jogged 10k for the first time! Yay me! (It wasn't an official race event, just on my own.) I plan to do a 10k race sometime this spring and my goal is to do a by 15k next fall.
    Just take it slow, you'll be fine! Good luck.

    Oh, I jog 20+ miles a week, 3-4 miles at a time and I am 268 lbs. (5'7)

    Wow, you are really inspiring to me. I appreciate your support! Good luck on getting to your 15k.
