Looking for a running partner!

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.

Gonna give the 6-miler another shot in the morning, if I can get myself to bed in the next half hour...I swear you girls (and my impending imaginary wedding) are the only things that are making me run in this gosh-awful cold weather!

I was going to run nine this morning - but I got caught in the rain :( so I only did 5. Hopefully tomorrow it will be somewhat dry!! Happy running!

I procrastinated because of the rain. I waited until 2:30, when it was a very light sprinkling and it stopped shortly after I was in my first mile. But, the wind was strong and it was cold running into the wind. I got in at least 9 miles - I am going to drive it off in a few minutes. Seriously. Slow. Out-of-shape. Miles! I cheated a little. I stopped at Grayton Corners on my last mile, got a Hershey Bar with Almonds, a bottle of water and a lottery ticket! Chris Brown got me home with Kiss Kiss - nappy boy! I'm telling you it was COLD!

When I first left for my run at about 6am i was ALMOST hit by a car (driver was NOT paying attention) so I knew it was not going to be a good one. Oh well!

But it's suppose to be COLDER tomorrow! BLAH! Oh well. At least it's not like that all of the time. But congrats on the 9 miles!

I don't terribly mind running in the cold as long as I have all my layers on!

Be careful though. There are a lot of people who do not pay 100% attention while driving on 30 A and on the bike path.

How does Monday look for you? Think we can run together?

The sad thing was - was that I had not even made it on 30-A yet! I was on the road that I live on!

I can run on monday - either before work (6am ish) or at noon. Yoga after work :) Let me know!

Sorry, I couldn't get it together to go this morning. I ended up running at 4:30 and barely got 5 miles in. A deer ran in front of me right about at the Grayton State Park Campground!

6 1/2 miles today--whoohoo! For the first 4-ish I did 9 minutes running to 1 minute walking (mostly because I was in a hurry.)

It's gonna be to stinkin' cold in the morning--20 degrees!--but my gullfriends and I are talking about running a 5er on Saturday...

Too cold to run at 5am this morning! So I did four on the treadmill at the gym. Not sure about this weekend - probably 5 tomorrow and 10 on Sunday :)

I'm not sure what that means, but I don't equate it with 11 1/2 miles!

You are really clipping along in your training--way to go! :clap: I'm going to shoot for 6-7 tomorrow, but I'm doing the hill loop. I really, really need to get back in a gym and do some weight training again; I'm getting a little bit fearful for my joints.

It means I am at least 30 minutes more in my time to run the 13.1 miles than 2 years ago. Hence, 30 minutes out of shape!

Hey supermom, sounds like your training is going great! I'm running anywhere from 4-8 miles approx. every other day! I'm so thrilled!!! I can't wait to meet all of you at the race!

I hope that NoHall and I have an advantage since we're here in Georgia in the freezing cold and running all the hills. Yuck!!
