Just joined
My first day on the site, and glad to see the wide range of experience here. I need some help from some of the more experienced runners. I run several 5K and 10K races every year, but would really like to push myself to do a half-marathon. My long run so far is only 8.1 miles, but was at about an 8:20/mile pace. What…
