    Does the tough mudder count as a half? (I know it's only about 12 miles but still)

    TM is my dream!

    I don't run on uneven surfaces well d/t an ankle injury. An injured ankle = no work for me = no bills paid = you get the picture!

    I have the Soaring Wings HM scheduled in October that I will be running. I am also looking for a full marathon to run, but that will towards the end of the year. And I plan to run the Little Rock Marathon in 2015.

    Hi! I'm an avid runner and a personal trainer going from bulk back down to my marathon running weight. Attempting to drop 30 pounds (split between muscle and fat) to limit stress on my knee's. I'm aiming to lose all the weight by May and run a half in June. You're welcome to add me! :)

    Probably no 1/2s this year, but I just want to say best wishes to all training for 1/2 and full marathons (and beyond)! I did my first half in Detroit in October and it was wonderful. I am hoping to do it again in 2015.

    I'm doing the Nashville Rock and Roll 1/2 in April. Quite excited. New runner and will do a fair amount of walking, but this time last year I could barely walk 1/2 a mile. Sunday I ran 7. Amazing what you can do if you set your mind to it.
