I just added my name as well. Thank you! Looks doable...

I was in Jonestown...graduated from Leander :)

JAllen32, You will be surprised what energy you will have at the race. If you picked a really good one there will be crowds at many spots during the race cheering you on and wishing you well. Your adrenalin will be so high. Yes, it is hard (that is why more people don't do it), but keep the finish line in your mind - think…

I just had back surgery in June and today was my 6 wk checkup. I asked the Dr. about running again - so...I can do short walk/run intervals on a treadmill between now and my next visit...don't push too much and if that goes well I'll be training in September. I have run the Cowtown 1/2 marathon the last 3 years...last year…

I'm at the edge of petite...height wise....when I lose my weight nobody notices until I lose at least 20 lbs...then it is like - wow, when did that happen? LOL....I can tell a difference though.... As long as YOU know what is going on and keep at it, people will notice soon enough. Sometimes they see it but they don't want…

North Dallas suburb. I am familiar with Marble Falls - used to live close-by as a kid! Yeah for all the Texans!!!

Thank you all for your suggestions, I appreciate your support!

I'd like to join too please.

Google c25k.. It is an amazing program that helps non runners become runners at their own pace. I used it 3 years ago and now I can even say I've run a full marathon. I had to stop running last October due to a non- running injury but plan on using the program again as soon as the dr. Releases mr to run again.

I know it is late in June - so I set my goal for through July. I just started this program...I had back surgery 2 weeks ago today and haven't been able to exercise at all since October of last year. I am really trying to lose the weight I gained while I couldn't do anything at all and work myself back slowly to running…
