    from 6 miles to 10 in 2 weeks sounds optimistic - but you know your body best. What is your weekly milage right now?

    Is your ultimate goal running a marathon?

    I'm pretty new to running so I can do longer distances but not really fast. I hope to be able to get under 10min/mi. right now I am doing around 12/13 mins/mi.

    Hi!
    Well, my original goal was 125, I don't know if I'll make it though. I guess we'll see....

    27:18 so I need to shave off 18 seconds.

    I am working on improving pace as well, I am hoping hills will work, and later sprints. I am not doing sprints now because of a heel injury... but maybe next month! I bet you can get to yoru 10 minute mile soon!

    my goal is 125- so far did 29 :( as of today. didn't run last week at all due to injury but back on track and maybe i will do it. I will try to amp it up during weekends. I still have 15 days and 96 miles to go :)

    running half marathon on March 24th in NYC :) aiming to get 2.11:00 . I know i can do that and better on treadmill but not sure about open air. :)

    So far my longest run was 11.5 miles :)

    also want to go under 35 minutes on 4M - my last time was 36:03 and i have a race this Sunday :) we will see :)

    Also would love to get into 2012 ING marathon.

    My goal is to find a race to run in January in Chicago!!!! The one is sold out and the other one I want to do I'll be in Detroit for my son's hockey tournament. Started the half marathon training program this week so I should be on goal for close to 75 miles for the month...Woo Hoo

    Also if anyone else is training for a Half Marathon, I started a group, feel free to join-
