I'm from the Boston area. If you are just riding the train, and not a bus, then you will be fine. The T (short for mbta) is older in Boston, but very reliable, especially during holidays because when they encourage people to ride the T. You would not be able to drive into the city so you really don't have any other choice.…

I also you mapmyrun. I'm going to cehck out the app. Good luck.

I'm using a plan I found on halfmarathons.net. It's a 16 week training plan. I run four times a week, with a long run on either Sat or Sun.

I am doing the Run to Remember. Are you in the New England area? I hear the half in the Hamptons is great - too early and too cold for me. What triathon are you doing?

I'm in the Northeast. It's been pretty cold, but probably not as cold as the midwest. I'm running on the treadmill now, but will be able to go out in March (hopefully).

That's awesome. If you can run 11, you can run 13. Good luck.

I'm using a 16 week plan that I found on halfmarathons.net. It basically breaks out to the same mileage as most plans out there.

I'm curious. What plan are you using?

I live 20 minutes outside of Boston. Go Sox.

I love my morning runs. I lay out my clothes the night before so it's one less thing to do in the morning. I allow myself to hit the snooze button only once. The second time the alarm goes off I just get my clothes on before I can talk myself out of it. The best thing about a morning run, is that when it's done, you feel…

Thanks everyone. I've signed up for the run, so now I just have to train.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to sign up for the race. I figure if I don't do it, I'll always wonder if I should have. It will force me to begin doing longer runs. It's crazy, if you had asked me in March if I would ever run a half I would have laughed and said "Never". Now I love seeing how far I can actually go.

I'm also following Jeff Galloway's plan. Sunday - long run (This Sunday I'll be doing 6 miles) Monday - cross training (spinning) or rest depending on how I feel Tuesday - run 45 minutes (almost 5 miles) Wednesday - cross train or rest Thursdsay - run 45 minutes Sat - rest Beginning this week, I'm going to start adding 5…

Hi, I'm also just getting started. Monday will make one full week and I'm hoping for a weight loss. I currently weigh 149.2. I've been running for 3 months, but still finding it difficult to shed the weight. I'm hoping MFP will help me with my diet so that I can begin to see some weight loss. I'd love to check in regularly…

Hi Michelle. I'm also a newbie. My longest has been 5 miles. I've run one 5K and another one this Sunday. I'm running a 10K in October. I'm looking to increase mileage also, and would love to talk to a newbie and get additional support from more experienced runners.

Thanks everyone. I've been reading runner's world magazine. It's been really helpful so far. I look forward to pick some of the books you guys listed this summer.

Thank you everyone. I think I will eat most of them, because I think MFP is overestimating the amount of calories I actaully burn. Now I have an even bigger incentive to work out :-)
