Anyone want to run a virtual half marathon with me?? I signed up for a local half. It's the first year for this race and right in my backyard so I figured I would run it. My sister (running partner) will be out of town so I will be solo. It's March 10th. I would love some running buddies even if it's online. Could be fun!?!? :smile:

Disclaimer: I'm slow! Last week my half time was 2:36 I was hoping for 2:30 but it's just for fun so I'm not gonna watch the clock.

    I would love to, depending on when it is. My wife and I have done this many times with other mfp friends. to me, i feel as if i am letting people down when i don't keep up my end of virtual runs so it keeps me accountable

    Awesome!! It will be March 10th 8am Phoenix time. But, you can run anytime that day. I will start a topic or we can just add to this one. Post your time, how you felt, what worked for you, what didn't....

    I can't wait! Good Luck Runners! I may even send the winner a treat! :smile:

    Count me in!! I would love to do a virtual half with you all:) Does the type of course matter? I have a great hilly one in mind, lots of beautiful scenery.

    finished my first half in 2hrs 30 mins, did walk a couple of times so I guess took longer than I expected. But feels good to have finally done it. what about all of u ? my other virtual friends?

    Well done guys!

    I had no time goal! Just wanted to complete it! Was a cold cold day, it also started snowing! However, this is what ive trained in so I was prepared and had all the right layers! My chip time was 2hrs 18min 22 seconds! very pleased with that!
