Awesome!! I am doing Jeff's training program as well for my first Half Marathon in January (Disney World Half Marathon !!!!). This Saturday I am going to try and run 10 miles (Current longest run is 8). Hope I make it. Good luck :)

Great job!!! Keep it up.

Awesome. Getting ready for my first Half-Marathon in January. Congrats!!

Go for it!! You will be fine. If you are running EVERYDAY, that could be one reason why you are getting shin splints. I'm no expert, but from my friends who are avid runners, they tell me to run 4-5 days a week max. Our bodies need time to recover.

Running. Never did it my whole life. Now I love it. Oh, and fitting into 32 waist jeans (used to be 44) was a very close second.

I just got back from a convention where I see the same people on an annual basis. They were all very conplimentary on my weight loss. But then a close friend who was also there said that three people came up to her and asked if I was sick because of my weight loss. I mean, I still weigh 178 pounds!!! God forbid it's…

Awesome. Just went to Express last week and got my first outfit. I would have never dared go in there at my weight last year. Congrats!!

Awesome!!! Congrats. I know exactly how you feel. It's an amazing sense of accomplishment.

Congrats!! These races are addicting. I did my first 5K on 8/20 and tomorrow I will be running in my 8th!!! Keep up the great work.

Congrats. I basically did the same thing as you. Cut out McDonalds, Wendy's, Five Guys Hamburgers (That was really tough). Just hit 70lbs myself yesterday.

Thank you!!! MFP and everyone here has been such an inspiration. Could not have done it without your help :smile:

Awesome!!!! Keep up the great work.

Awesome job. Keep it up!!!

Awesome!!! I'm only 3 pounds away from getting to the 170's. It's taking forever.......

Awesome!!!!

That is a great pic. Can I steal your idea? I was in a 44 waist and just got into a pair of 33 Levi's.

I just did 7 miles in 1:13. Hope to run the Disney 1/2 Marathon in January.

It doesn't matter where you finish. The accomplishment is to remember where you were and the hard work you put in to complete the race.

You ARE a runner. Congrats!!!!

That is awesome. Congrats.

I just signed up for my first Half Marathon next April, however I would love to do the Disney World Half Marathon in January. Everyone from MFP have been such inspirations, that I actually think I will be able to do it.

Had another NSV today. Ran 7 miles for the first time.

For the first time I ran 7 miles. A little sore, but feeling pretty good.

Ran 5k in 27:27. 3 Minutes better than my previous best.

Congrats. That is awesome. I am still at the 5k level, but I am signing up for my first Half Marathon tomorrow (4/22/12 Run Date).

Congrats!! I'm signing up for my first Half Marathon tomorrow morning.

I hear ya. I'm going broke:) Had to buy new suits and winter clothes this week.

Bought Under-Armour Coldgear Mock Compression shirt and it actually looks halfway decent on me.

Tons of great advice from all the responders. I would just say, enjoy every moment of it. Don't stress out over it. The first time crossing the finish line, regardless of your time, is an amazing feeling.
