My training officially starts tonight. I'm looking for other runner friends who are training as well. Please feel free to add me, and we'll compare workouts and hopefully still be friends at the time of the race!

    I am, slowly. I am on week 5 on Couch to 5K (C25K) and I hope to run a half marathon in the beginning of 2012 or late 2011. I'm looking at a 10k in September.

    My wife and I are registered for the Oktobrefest Half Marathon this year. It will be my second half and her first. We have our first 5k (yes I did a half marathon before I ever did a 5k) on July 24th and we are both very excited.

    Feel free to add me.

    You know, there is no better time than the present. I'm hoping to run a 1/2 by the end of the year or early next year, so I think I'll get on board. Just found a 10 week training plan that I think will work for me. Count me in, will start next Monday!

    When is your half??

    I am running the USAF Half on Sept 17th and the Rock n Roll half in Savannah on Nov 6th. I'm training with a group of friends and we are up to 6 miles on our long run, repeating each long one twice :) Good luck on your training!

    I am registered for the San Antonio 1/2 in Nov & the Houston 1/2 in January. I run 3-4 times per week, each run at least 7 miles. I will soon be upping my mileage once the temps start dropping. :tongue:
    Set a PR last year at every race (losing 50 lbs helped alot) & am hoping to set a couple more this season. Good luck! Friend me & we can keep each other updated! :smile:

    I have been training since January!! Weddings have pushed backed my half marathon all the way to September...story of my life though whenever I try to do something for me lol. Mine will be September 24th officially, I was up to a 10 mile long run, then decided to take my extra time to focus on my speed so i backed down to 5-6 mile long runs and ran a bunch of 5K's and a 10K. Now I am full speed ahead again on week two running 7 this Saturday :-) Good luck on your training everyone!!

    I'm doing my first 10K at the end of the month, then planning to start working up to half marathon training. There is a half in October that I really want to run, but I'm wary of doing too much too soon (especially with a long history of joint issues), so I'll see how I'm holding out when I get closer to that date. If not then, then I'll run a 10K in October instead, and a half in February.

    Going to be doing a 1/2 marathon in August, then fiance and I are signed up for 2 next year (Tinkerbell 1/2 at Disneyland in Jan and the Salt Lake City 1/2 in April).

    It's crazy to me... I never ran (or did anything "athletic") until I was 39 years old... then I ran my first 1/2 marathan at age 40! LOL
