    I have run 2 full marathons and can't even remember how many 1/2's. After a 2 year abscence of running in races and a sporadic running schedule I made A new year's resolution to start back to a regular running schedule (4 days a week since I work 3 12's) and to start racing again. I have a 1/2 coming up March 10th.

    I am a "new" runner I suppose! I've run sporadically all my life but have recently gotten more serious about it. I absolutely love running. Am a part of a running club and am entered in my first official race (well, relay) in a few weeks here!! My long term goal is to run a full marathon!

    Always.

    Training for a half marathon in VA later this month. It will be my 37 state. Doing one in all 50 ... and will tack on our nation's capital, too, most likely.

    I'm training to run a half in April. I'm really starting to enjoy it! Especially when I burn 1,000 calories! :)

    I'm running a half on the 25th! I run year round. Probably taking a little bit of a break (maybe a week off from hard or long runs) after this half. Feeling pretty wiped out! Gonna do the Ragnar Relay Cape Cod in May, so I can't risk staying burned out or getting injured before that!

    I just ran my 3rd 1/2 Marathon a couple weeks ago and I've also finished a 1/2 Ironman and quite a few races lined up for this year. I'm aiming for my first full marathon and full Ironman in 2013.

    Hi there ... 4 marathons and 2 halfs and quite a few 10k under my belt. I am not training for the marathon at the moment, however I am on a small personal mission to get my fitness and nutrition RIGHT. I juggle a full time job and two lovely kids ... still no excuse to skip that jog! :-). Add me please ... need likeminded people "around" :-). Have a good day!

    Hi there....

    It's so nice to read so many great comments for other runners!

    I am doing a 5K in June and a 10K in July for Cancer Research, then a 1/2 Marathon in early October and the Great South Run at the end of October which is a 10 miles...

    I have got the running bug and can't wait to go running whenever I can. I try doing it at the gym at least twice a week but work full time so it can be difficult so usually have some long runs at weekends :)

    Feel free to add me :)
