you might start starving if you don't eat breakfast

2015 will be the year of the Marathon for me, I signed up for my first one in May, the Vermont City Marathon, if all goes well I may sign up for a fall one. I also have signed up for some 10Ks, my annual charity 9k, and a half, 2015 looks to be a whole lot of running for me

you are awesome

if it ever stops making me happy then I will stop, but I hope to be one of the those 90 year olds running marathons

good luck

congrats and GO PATS

Finished the Green Stride Newburyport Half Marathon on Sunday with a new PR of 2:25:07, and I also didn't feel like complete death after so that is the major win

my jacket is pretty much all polyester

once I get home and look at my jacket I can tell you material but it is very light and since I live in MA I will have to do layers with it once it gets very cold (super) I think with you just a nice wicking shirt (I get all mine at Marshalls) and a jacket with either shorts or pants should be fine. When you walk into…

you are awesome and hilarious, good for you can't wait to read more

I always tell people to check out Marshalls and TJ Maxx (not sure if you have any near you) but they always have name brand stuff for the cheap. For rain it really depends on the temp too, but for basic I have a nice wind breaker type running jacket that has air vents so I don't get too sweaty and keeps me dry on the…

Get good sneakers and get C25K, and it's ok to start off slow, and walk sometimes that does not make you a failure

been running a little over 2 years, never ran before, started with c25k then worked up from there, I will be running my 2nd half marathon in 8 days and hoping to run a Marathon next year. Right now I average about 20 miles a week, that will be going up soon

as most will say, go to a legit running store to get shoes, they will look at your gate and how you run and find you the proper shoe and they should allow returns if the shoes do not work out for you

Guess I forgot to post in here oops 2014 Goal... Run at least 1 race every month, so far so good, I have the Green Stride 1/2 marathon coming up for my October race and I have already signed up for a 5k in November and December

there are non app things that can give you a basic idea of what to do. I am work right now so can't look them up sorry, but google couch to 5k that should help you find things

first off, good for you for doing all of that. When I first started running I learned pretty quickly that I was running much too fast, C25K app taught me I needed to pace myself to be able to run a distance more then half a mile. That might be your issue and I recommend an app or plan that starts you off run/walking to get…

oh no I hear you and feel you

my issue, with long runs 10miles + is the sudden and painful urge to poo near the end.....TMI but I don't have to pee

got it

I drink a lot of water so I have to go to the bathroom a lot lol

thanks everyone

I freaken LOVE running and I tell everyone that I do, feel free to add me always up for more MFP running buds

*face palm*

I get all my stuff at TJ Maxx and Marshalls, no need to spend alot

what helped me get started was the C25K app, and I am one who could never ever run a mile in school so I started from nothing

read my pic.....lol I started running cause it was cheaper then a gym, I now love it and enter a new race every month.

this thread is a delight
