    Half marathon. I ran my 1st one last December and have run 3 more since then. The distance is a challenge but is still comfortable.

    I started running in May with the C25K program. The farthest distance I have run is 6.5 miles on 9/15/13. Not too bad considering when I started I thought I was going to die after 2 blocks.

    I started with the C25K program as well. It's really a nice way to start and the principles are the same for continuing to build up to longer distances.

    Longest is 22 miles - was training for a marathon, but it didn't work out. Looking to change that this winter, though! 26.2, here I come!

    Half Marathon. I did my second one yesterday. I am seriously considering the Chicago Marathon next year!

    10k! My very first one was yesterday.

    In spite of some training hiccups - including an injury - I was pretty proud of my pace and excited to have accomplished a tangible goal. Hoping to do another once I really resolve the foot problem that hasn't entirely resolved.

    Happy running!

    Started C25k last November. This morning I ran a 10k - the running course for the local triathlon, which I've committed to complete next year. Nice and hilly too.

    10.42 miles this last Friday :) training for a half in late October! Feeling pretty confident!

    Edited to add: when I started training for this half marathon this last August, I could barely run a 5k without stopping to walk. In under two months I built up to 10.4mi! I had rough weeks in my training, I missed runs, and I'm not a saint when it comes to keeping an eye on my macros... I thought it was impossible. It is totally, totally do-able. If I can, anyone can!

    I haven't started running yet, but yesterday I walked 6 miles. Longest distance ever!

    I've done 18 but since I walked a couple of those miles I didn't count it. I did 16 yesterday non-stop.



    I need to work on distance a bit more though.

    A little more than 5k. I never really tried to run much farther than that.

    I have done 2 half marathons and a full marathon. I think I will stick to half marathons. It is a challenge that is still somewhat enjoyable.

    I've run two marathons: Marine Corps, Wash DC 1999 and Cologne, Germany 2001, plus at least one half-marathon, Heppenheim, Germany 2004. It seemed pretty natural then; now I value my accomplishments more than ever!

    However, I run/walk them. I don't run the entire way through. :wink:
