Switched from FitBit to Garmin recently as I've got more serious about running. Would live to add some friends on Connect. You can find me @ Aztec4Life on there too (real name James Lacher). Just broke 1hour for first time in 10k last Saturday. Training for Half-marathon in Oct and hopefully Full in April. I'm relatively new to running. Had bariatric surgery 2 years ago. Weighed over 400lbs prior to that.

    Wow!! Congrats on your accomplishments. Unfortunately I don't have a Garmin, otherwise I'd connect. I am also training for both a half (September) and a full (January) and am new to serious running. You're welcome to friend me if you just want support and someone to commiserate with when the going gets tough. I know I can use that sometimes!

    just added you on garmin connect. congrats on starting your 10K and enjoy the the training. I use the Relentless Forward 18/55 plan for my marathons which works well for me. Find a plan that works for you. There are a lot out there. Which half are you doing in Oct? I'm siging up for Mohawk full in Oct.

    You may also want to check out Strava. It is similar to Garmin Connect, but has a little bit more of a social vibe. It can sync with Gramin Connect. There are several MFP groups on Strava, including an MFP Long Distance Runners group and the Monthly Running Challenge group.
