Welcome to AZ and SewBethy! I wish there was more interaction on this thread, but there doesn't seem to be. Maybe we can get it started again. I'd love to have discussions about our running...more detailed that I put on my home page. But, you can both feel free to add me as a friend, if you'd like.

I have been fairly consistently running for about 2 years. I did take about a 3 month break this spring, due to leg injury and my nephew's wedding and other life experiences getting in the way. I am trying to get back into it and am doing pretty good. My Garmin watch stopped working last week, so that has been a bummer for me. I haven't had it long, so I need to call them or something. I just haven't taken the time to do that yet. Anyway, when I was consistent, I had gotten up to running over an hour without stopping. Now, I'm back to the run/walk intervals. I need to get the Jeff Galloway book. I really think I would do better with that. However, one of my goal was to run 30 min non-stop, so I was really happy when I did that last year! It amazes how quickly the fitness level seems to go away and how long it takes to get it back.

Hope to hear from you all soon. Will try to remember to check back here every day.

Arizona2012, I'd love to join you on this journey. I haven't been running consistently since about May and really do need to get back into it, as I have gained back a lot of the weight I lost when I was running. I am a little disgusted with myself, but I know if I did it once, I can do it again,. I would love to be able to run a half marathon in the spring for Relay For Life that is in my area. I have a plan that is supposed to get me there in 20 weeks. I keep meaning to start it, but so far, life has been getting in the way.

I will send you a friend request and hopefully we can support each other as we get going again!
