Hey everyone! I'm new to MFP and only been running for about a year. I'm hoping to train for my first half marathon this year. Just thought I would say Hello!!! :)

    Welcome to the group, my first HM is mid June. Good luck sherip22, that's right around the corner, I hope you're in warmer weather than MN! I'd love to hear how things are going for you! and Katiestemp, I've dabbled in running and did a 10k over 2yrs ago, starting back up myself. I'm sure you'll do great - do you have it picked out yet?

    Thanks ktweldon3! I'm in CT so my training is mostly done on the dreadmill right now. My longest run so far was 9 miles. I did get 7.5 miles in today outside, since it was unseasonably warm. The race is in Disney so I am so looking forward to nice temps! 4 weeks from today!!

    No, not yet. I'll probably do a local half in the fall in my little town :) I'm doing Bloomsday though in Spokane, WA which I heard is really fun!!

    Hi all! I'm just getting started with MFP, and I've already lost 44 on this journey since June thus far. Since August, I've been learning to run and in October I did my first 5K running, and in less than 2 weeks I'm doing my first Half. I'm excited, nervous and anxious! Trying to watch my weight while training. All the running makes me hungry! haha
