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.

Yes!! We should have official 'local' team wear

My sister is running it with me and our parents are coming down from St. Louis to run it as well. :clap:

We need to represent our hood. :roll: (Sorry. Had to add that in)

hmmmm......can't remember

So - I try to run every day at my lunch hour (12-1) and I usually run 3-4 miles. Let me know if anyone is interested in joining Also - long runs on the weekends? Let me know! Long runs go by faster when you have company. I am also training for the Seaside 1/2. Cheers!!

Saturday at 8:00 am at Run for Your life I think. Many people run, different paces and distance. I am planning on going. I might be able to run with you next week.
I got in 3 on Tuesday and 3 yesterday in the soup!

Congrats on the 3! That is awesome! I ran at noon and it was HOTT outside! Smelled kind of funny the rest of the day at work

I didn't run today at lunch - so that means after work. Blah.

Thanks for the info on the Saturday run! I'll look in to that for sure! Let me know about next week!

I got 8 miles in today, run/walk 4min/1min. There is no way I could have done it without the run/walk! I got new shoes too! Yay!

The run/walk makes all the difference!

I wussed out! Long story. I'll get 'er done this week, though--maybe tomorrow.

I really like the 4/1 min. Do you ever bump it to 1 mile/1 min? (Because if you don't, I might not, either!)

Nope! I use it pretty much throughout the race except toward the end when I just want to finish!

8:15? I drop my son at Bay at 8:00.

I got in 4 today.

Saturday runs are at 8:00 with the group run I believe. Supposed to be a cold one this weekend.

...I did have some dance moves that my trainer had never seen before! At first, I thought he was trying to kill me off. :shock:

I'm a wuss...I still haven't done my 6-miler. I did the 3-mile hill loop this morning. It's supposed to be rully, rully cold in the mornings this week, too... :bang:
