I'm also a new runner and also planning on my first in November. I've been looking at a lot of different race training programs and joined a womens running group today. I'm curious what answers you get. :) What are you plannin gon running for your first half?

Well my calorie intake has been a bit higher than yours, but all the rest I could have written myself. I have literally gotten so ridiculously frustrated that I think my scale and I need to break up for a little bit. ITS SO HARD!!! SOOO hard cause like you I know I'm building muscle but I'm still far from a healthy weight.…

AWESOME!!!!! Thank you everyone for suggestions. I have heard fantastic things about Born to Run will add that to my next cart. This cart I went with Ultramarathon Man and Sole Sisters

When I do my half I plan on the sticker, a tattoo, a coffee mug for work and will officially introduce myself as Hi,I'm Christine I ran 13.1 miles. SERIOUSLY! I think its amazing and I don't care if people don't think its not "good enough" because its not a full marathon. And extend my congratulations on his…

Me too!!!! And Judy GREAT idea! So excited!!!!!! I may keep my shirt after the race and mount it on one of those shadowbox things as my "art"

I live in cocoa just east of Otown, we (monica lives just west of Orlando and Judy lives in Kissimmee just south) have friends that live in Orlando that will probably wanna join in so don't worry about the ! 6th person. We got that in the bag!!!!!!!!! If we get more people than we will have to work out maybe adding in…

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When are you driving down? I noticed packet pick up is generally the day before? We can get stencils and make some together the night before or just work on it on our own. Super excited about this. I should warn yall that don't me. I'm very enthusiastic and border on annoying with my enthusiasm…

Glitterati, Is that a Kesha song? I had no idea, I'm getting old cause my associationg with that is 90s club kids or SATC. haha. ...but you know I'd be down with dressing up in sequin running shorts...hahaha. Once again...I'm cool with whatever the general consensus goes with. If yall wanna go with color us happy....and we…

I'm kinda weird....not a big fan of the "loser" connotation even in a funny sense. However, please don't let me keep yall back from that name...if everyone decides on it, I'm team player. since its a color run, I would prefer something more along those lines. Like Glitteratti....or hmm..naming is so hard. hahaha. Or "color…

We call most our dishes Floribbean. Caribbean flair Florida style.

I just saw this on runlocator....are you open for a team run so we can save a few ducats? I have a friend who is interested in it also.

Ali sending you a message!!!! I had a friend that is part of this group tell me about this! I just did my first 5k this past weekend. ( I have walked them before, but this was my first running 5k THRILLING)

Hola!!!! I'm 31 live in Cocoa, socialize mostly in Orlando, LOVE Florida! We are so lucky to have great weather most of the time to exercise in and obviously living closer to the beach is definitely motivating me to get in swimsuit worthy shape!!!!! :)

my favorite podcasts were hip hop/pop based from Carli with runningintoshape.com and Suz with kissmyblackass.org PLEASE USE the .org .com is a whole nutha kinda site.

Best program in the world!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes I drank the kool aid cause the proof is in the pudding. I LOVE running now and have changed my nutrition, cross training, and have given myself fitness based goals because of c25k. I downloaded podcasts versus the app. I'm not using an app for Bridge to 10k. There is a mfp group…

I agree this site is awesome! One thing that has really helped me stay on track and keep focused and get tons of support and inspiration are the group challenges....check thru them or watch the boards and when you see when that strikes your fancy JOIN it!!!!! It helps to have others working on specific goals together. :)

BUMP, I don't have an iphone so am curious what other recommends you get. :) Oh and right now I run outdoors with the nikeplus app on my ipod touch and plan my routes on mapmyrun.com

Fantastic work and good for you! Is the MIL upset with you now? Or her hubby?

Bump ...I'll be starting half training in summer, but before then need to get my strength training on!

Oooh for you pizza lovers...I've started making my own whole wheat pizza dough its soooo easy and I dont' have a mixer. I also foudn a recipe for cauliflower pizza crust that I'll be trying soon from www.perrysplate.com

I like how you think...I'm sure the hubby will have a decadent red wine...but I want to eat my calories. haha! Congrats and happy that he made it thru his surgery well Melaniecheeks PLEASE share this recipe...that sounds AMAZING!!!!

hahah...I'm usually not that big on Valentines day either...I had my own floral business so for a few years it was up to my elbows in craziness, but I was watching Pepe Le Pew cartoons and thought Hmmm....I need to get on the Love train. Yes cartoons inspire me.

Yeah you got me there.

Single Valentines means a night out with your fabulous girlfriends!!!!!!

Toast points!!!!!!!! FANTASTIC idea..adding that to my menu!!! Thank you!

Oooh some of my faves have already been mentioned. Till I Collapse by eminem, I LOVE Modeselektor, Bassnectar my favorite of his is his version of Nelly Furtado's Magical World, Love LMFAO for the silliness that they inject into my playlist. I've been taking shortcuts on my playlist and just downloading premixed sets from…

This sounds brilliant....however...I'm not sure if I get the math equation...so I'm responding here to refer back to and will try this method out...it makes perfect sense to me in terms of fueling your body efficiently for those longer workout days.
