Hoping to find friends to help keep you "showing up", people who post on their pages. Yes, I finished my first 70.3 (half Ironman) in September, I have done a few smaller tri's. Off season training is well underway!

Wow, what a journey! You’ve done it once you will certainly do it again. Sounds like you have a great support system at home (that’s like gold). Feel free to add me for mutual support if you’d like!

Fellow vegan (plant based really) here ... feel free to add me

Hi All ... plant based here and looking for more like minded friends, feel free to add me

Will be doing my first ultra next year also (not until October). Would be interested to hear all about it and any advice also!

Wow, we sound alike. I joined in August 2011 and had great success (lost 27lbs), and like you ran my first 1/2 marathon in April 2012. Since then, I have been up and down - with the weight at least - and I notice it in my running my times are not getting any better, although I just ran my first full marathon May 2014 (not…

I think we've all been there and done that! I know 2 years ago when I joined I lost almost 20lbs and had my best running times ever - now my weight is up and my times are down. I'm running my first full marathon May 2014 and need to get the weight down! Add me if you like!!

I have a pair of Ron Hill they are gloves but have a fold over protective cover (rain/snow/wind/), they are great for cold weather (I'm northern Ontario) but the outer layer can tuck under and be more suitable for milder winter runs.

I'm registered! And it'll be for my first full!! Looking forward to it - I think, gonna be a bit nerve wrecking i'm sure!

I will be running my first marathon in Ottawa on May 26. I know the goal of a first marathon is just to finish - but I'm hoping under 5 hours! Feel free to add me as a friend!

Oh my gosh! There are some very impressive numbers here - very inspiring! I will hit 1000 before Xmas (I'm at 987.5 as of tonight). Brilliant work everyone - keep on running!!

I have the Timex GPS Global trainer (triathalon watch) - amazing watch for all 3 sports (waterproof for swimming including strap). I've only been running just under a year - but I found the watch well worth the investment. That being said, my husband has a Garmin forerunner which works really well too however, he says the…

British by birth (lived there till I was 8) But proudly Canadian!!!!

Yes, here's to us!!!

I did C25K last fall - on the "rest" days do some cross training - swimming, walking, etc - when you get further along (I'm now training for a full marathon) the rest days are really important to repair and rest your muscles. You don't want to push it and hurt yourself.

Sorry I've left this late but I didn't finish up till last night Wed June 6- 5 miles Thur June 7 - 4 miles Sat June 9 - 4 miles Sun June 11 - 7 miles Total of additional 20 miles for wk 2 MTD Total = 39 miles

June 4 - 3.5 June 5 - 4.5 MTD - 19!

Wow, some really heavy duty distances coming in already this ought to inspire me to move it!!! Week 1: Saturday and Sunday = 10.5 miles combined!!!

Wow, these are great ideas - although I've only just started on the full program. I'll keep them in mind!

Morning to all!! I'm new here - ran my first 1/2 marathon in April 29th - so I'm on the HH training program for a full marathon. Hopefully I don't have too many mess ups with my running (trips or missed runs) June goal = 124.5 miles (as per the schedule) Thanks for including me! Deb

Love, love, love it!!! I have printed it and put it on my fridge! Thanks for sharing.

Just finished my first 1/2 in April and have another booked for October. Hoping to run a full by Xmas!!! Feel free to add me - virtual running friends are motivating!!!

Absolutely, and one of my MFP friends had it on their profile - doesn't matter how fast you go - your still lapping everybody sitting on the couch!!!

Told ya!!! Strong and SEXY!!!!! You rock speedy!!! Xxx

Absolutely Brilliant my dear!!! So proud of you - and with all the stresses that you have been under that is no small feat!!! I ran my first 1/2 last weekend - so I know part of what you were going through (without the family stresses)!! Be proud!!! XXXX

I think you have to judge for yourself like most people have said. I myself don't include the burn from any activity that I do on a regular basis. So weekly/daily cleaning/laundry/cooking I never count, something like chopping wood out back(we have acreage)/snow shovelling or even window cleaning - stuff that I don't do…

I agree!!!
