  • I think that you are doing better than 99% of the population by just going out in the first place. I think that most people who run respect what you are doing in trying to better yourself. Run where you want; the ones closest to us can be our worst and harshest critics, nevermind them! In my area, the runners in the…

  • My first half is the GO! St. Louis next Sunday, April 15th! I just took up running at the beginning of the year and have been training with a group and it's been amazing! I'm very excited/nervous/anxious/name the emotion.

  • Absolutely you can do it, I'm running a half marathon in April and I just started running in January! If you can find some running groups in your area they can definitely help you keep your focus. Like others have said, sign up for some shorter races in the meantime, do the couch to 5k plan and find a half marathon plan…

  • I'm training for my 1st half (1st ever running anything event actually) on April 15th with a training group. Currently we're on week 9 where we did 6 today then will do 5 miles Wednesday & Friday and must incorporate a cross training day. With the longer runs, have you all been able to improve your pace or has it remained…

  • Glad to find a group of newbies!! I literally just started running at the beginning of the year and have signed up to do my first ever half (1st ever any kind of race for that matter) April 15th! How is everyone's training coming along?

  • This was me a month ago, start off slow, see if you can do a mile first. For beginners, it's best to try either the couch to 5k or the Hal Higdon plans, they help A LOT! Best of luck to you!

  • Has anyone taken the BCOR boot camp yet? What has been your experience? I have a GC that is set to expire on the 28th and was looking for feedback from people that have taken it (besides the people on their website, which of course will have glowing reviews).

  • I'm in the St. Louis area too! I just started running a couple of weeks ago with the hopes of participating in the Go! St. Louis race in April! We all need motivation because running is not something I EVER thought I'd do. Best of luck to you on the 30 Day Shred, it really works as well as her 6 weeks to 6 pack abs (IMO).…
    in Need motivating people!!! Anyone from St. Louis? Comment by jlo0812 January 2012
  • I have not done it in a couple of months, which is why I joined myftinesspal to get back into things, but it REALLY works! I was on level one for about 6 weeks, initially without the weights then added, just work your way up. But you do see results. I did that, a couple of days a week on the arc trainer at the gym &…
