Hello everyone,
I've been using this site to track for almost a month now and decided it's about time I reached out to the community.

I've decided to sign up for a 1/2 Marathon near the end of September to help me stay on track and reach my fitness goals.

Is there anyone else out there training for an event?

I'm interested in grouping with anyone who wants to be publicly accountable via weigh in or goal status reports....

    Kudos to you for signing up for a 1/2 marathon. I have signed up to tackle a full marathon in January 2010. My training starts in August. I've ran and 1/2 marathon and next to the birth of my son I would have to rank this up to one of the best accomplishments of my life.

    Hard work, dedication and a mentality of "you can do it" will definitely get you through this.

    I have almost met my goal thanks to this website but I will still be on here to maintain my calories and exercise. I'm willing to chat and talk with you if you want the encouragement.

    Congrats on your decision to run...I always underestimated what a big choice that was until I agreed to train with a friend also!

    My half marathon isn't until next spring, but I think I'll need that time to get ready...I actually just finished my first round of P90X :happy: ..I feel like that's gotten me ready to tackle just about anything. That and this website have really helped to keep me focused.

    Good luck training, I look forward to hearing what works for you as you prepare!
