Looking for a running partner!

I'm going to do the 5K so that my boys can do it with me. But I'm going to go with the Jeff Galloway plan. Maybe next year we'll be ready to do the Half Marathon with you. Good luck, supermom!

I will train with you for this!!! I need an excuse to get off my arse and turn off Reality TV. The 1/2 marathon seems a little far for someone that only runs when being chased by large metal objects.

Is there anyone willing to commit to training for the half marathon with me?

I would be willing to run either after 8:30 am or sometime in the morning, if that works with anyone else's schedule. We can do either Jeff Galloway's run/walk program or run straight through, which ever works best.

Today is December 7. I have a program to follow to get us to March 2.

I'll commit, I'll just have to keep a little distance between us (like 368 miles.)

Love me some Galloway...I gotta get my arse going, too!

I'm going to begin Monday. So we'll all do it together? Yea! I need to register for the race!

I don't think I can start next week. You'll appreciate this: Next week I'm shadowing teachers for my new band/drama job from 8-4, and I'm doing CINDERELLA at a different school every night.

I'll be rarin' to go on the 17th, though...

When are you coming down here next? I will start this Monday too because I am out of shape and need an extra week.

Maybe we can post a journal of what we do for the week. Our goal, then how much - daily, every other day, 3 times a week, whatever every one is doing. It will give us all accountability even if we can't find a partner.

As soon as I invite myself back? (Someday I'll pull up and find the curtains closed and the lights off. I've been doing this to Hop for 20 years, bless his hospitable heart!)

I usually do two days a week. Starting next week, I'll commit to that, and may even throw in a third day. If I weren't so cheap, I'd say we should get those little bluetooth thingies and call each other while we run.

Ok - We are virtual running partners!

I confess I didn't run yesterday - I ran out of time. But I did manage to get 3 miles today. I know I have bluetooth on my phone but have never used it nor do I know how!

Just so you know - I will not be setting a pr for myself. I plan on having fun and getting my tote bag! Are you going to run straight through or run/walk? Are you running for a specific time?

If I don't get to train much, I will probably run 3 mi., walk 1 min, and then do run 1 mile/walk 1 minute after that. If I get to train (and cross train!) I'll run to the halfway point and then do some sort of run/walk after that. I would LIKE to finish in 2:30 or less. We'll just see...I'm doing a diet of fudge and divinity right now, which can't help the cause...

Got in 30 minutes of running today. It is a very slow start for me. I need a warm body running next to me!

I'm new to SoWal.com but live in Point Washington and would love a running partner. I am running around the area however, since it gets dark so early I haven't been able to run as often. My schedule is pretty flexible but I would need to run closer to 7-7:30 am or in the afternoons. Last year I trained for a 15K and loved running it and training for it (most days!). What 1/2 marathon are you training for and where can I sign up?

We didn't get to start last week due to illness! I think we'll be ready to go on Monday the 17th, though.

I need a jogging stroller - does anyone have a used one they want to sell me?
I've been looking online but don't want to buy a new one. Anyone?

I'm excited!!!

There is a 15K in Pensacola on Feb 2nd and then a 1/2 marathon in Seaside on March 2nd!

What 1/2 marathon are you training for and where can I sign up?

It's the Seaside Half Marathon! You can get the registration info at www.seasidehalfmarathon.com Free Vera Bradley totebag for those that both register and finish the half marathon. A $44 value!

SGB: Vera Bradley bags are for those who finish the half marathon, not just register! I know that's what you wrote, just restating!

I can't do 7-7:30, that is drop-off for me. I could do afternoons after 3, as soon as soccer is over. Are you a fast, medium or slower runner? Do you walk at all?

I'm at Jekyll Island this weekend and hope to go run tomorrow morning. Probably only 20-30 minutes, but I'm excited!

I am a medium pace runner not super fast. I do walk sometimes especially right now (I'm out of shape). Next week is insane but I could run on Monday at 3 or 4pm. Thanks for all the information about the races. I'll sign up soon. Can you run on Monday? If so where do you want to run? About how many miles do you run at a time? I usually do around 4 or so but need to start increasing that (by a lot) if the race is in Feb.

Soccer is from 3-5 Monday, then away game on Tuesday.
If I could find a place for my son to go between 3 and 5, we could do at 3:30 - 4:30 Monday. Let me work on it.

I ran 50 minutes today, very slowly - I am extremely out of shape. I have been running through Grayton but we could meet at Grayton Corners. If anyone else would like to meet to run, it is a great starting point - you can run whatever you feel like!

I can't meet today. My new puppy needs to get a round of shots and 3pm today is the only time that works for the vet to see him before Christmas. I'll run on the treadmill tonight so at least I will start training. Tomorrow is pretty packed but I could meet Wednesday. Let me know if you can.

I think I can meet tomorrow. I have run 2 days in a row, 30 minutes. Trying for the 21 day habit thing. I will verify in the morning, but looks good for me.

HOORAY! I spoke to the powers that be at school today, and we located a shower for me to use. That means that when I start teaching, I can run in the mornings before class. I'm RULLY happy about that!

I hope to get in a few miles next week, too. Supermom, remind me to sign up soon...I'm bad about forgetting that part.

I ran yesterday about 4 miles. It feels good to start training again. I can start training with ya'll around the new year. Until then it is hard for me to meet. Keep running and we will be virtual partners until then.

I got in 3 miles on Thursday and 4 miles in today.
I'm trying real hard to run every other day.

Update: I saw the Athletic Director (who helped me locate a shower) at school on Friday and he asked me if I had run that morning. I said, tentatively, that I hadn't, and he said, "Well, you're just selling yourself short."



Looks like I'll either be running every day starting in January or avoiding the A.D. every day...
