Anyone else training for a UK half marathon?

Happy Sunday evening!

I'm 8 weeks away from the Chester Half Marathon, and hoping to find some friends with similar goals for mutual motivation.

The race is on 18th May 2014 and I'm trying to lose the best part of a stone along the way - training has been going ok but I've not lost any weight as I've been eating what I want, so I'm here for some accountability.

I've done The Great North Run a couple of times, but haven't run seriously for 2 or 3 years so I'm proving a point to myself and others.

Please send me a friend request if you think we can help each other out :-)

    Hey,

    Good luck with the Half Marathon.

    I've never been a long distance runner but I've got a 10K Road Race coming up at the start of May.

    Likewise with you the training is going ok but paired with football and the training for that I am in decent condition at the moment but ready to be totally shattered doing the race!

    Feel free to add me (not sure how to do it yet!) Haha :)

    Good luck on your training for the half marathon.
    I'm a keen runner too, planning on entering a few halves this year
    Main one the great north run
    Which I should have ran last year but injury and operation put me out
    Feel free to add
