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.

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!

Oh--I don't even want to know how many minutes out of shape I am, then!

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!!.

It wasn't too bad this morning--just a little bit brisk. But last year's Seaside Half was COLD! :eek:

I'm not running today (except to pick-up youngest son & then race back to beat the bus for the others) - I ran 5 miles on Sat. and 7 on Sunday. Legs needed to rest today.

supermom! Congrats on the long run! I rocked out 11 yesterday - and then went to yoga. Nice way to start off my day :) Let me know if you want to get together on Sunday - I have a pretty good 12 mile loop that I'll be hopefully doing on Sunday. Saturday is the Pensacola 15K double bridge run, so we'll see how I feel after that!

I'm not scared of those GA people. There are no hills in this race!! :)

Hi, I'm new to the area and just found the seaside 1/2 I've just started running again, I am looking for a partner or two, inspiration and motivation! I'm running 5-6 miles at a med pace 4-5 times a week, I live in Miramar beach and my hours are flexible. I'm not sure I'll be ready for the 1/2 but, i've run many, and don't care about my time :) I have kids that go to Van Butler so I'm in the area around 7:50 am

You have no reason to be scared of this GA person...I run like someone who answers phones for a living...I think I even walk faster than I run...:blink:

Hi Deanna!

I ran 6 miles today after a late start. I drop off my son at 8:00 at Bay.
Maybe we could meet at 8:15 somewhere on 30. I am doing the Galloway run/walk - will that mess up your running? I think Thursday would be good for me; how about you?

Like your new name!

I tried to run yesterday morning, but I was too stiff and tired...2 days in a row doesn't work for me. I'm going to talk to the school trainer about some cross training...

We need to find each other and say hello at the Half...! (Especially since we probably don't live but 30 miles from each other.)

I would love to meet, I had a little tummy bug last nght, but feel better today. I think Thurs. would work, if not Friday. I've done the Galloway training, I'm very flexible. A walk/run program is a good way to keep injuries at bay!

I head to Bham next weekend for the Mercedes. I have trained 0 ZERO NADA. I'm looking forward to the 13 mile walk (I'll run the last .1)
Actually I am going to employ the run 5 minutes walk one and see how it goes. No 2:11 finish for me this year. Perhaps things will be better for the Seaside half.

Just wanted you all to know that I lurk this thread for inspiration. I'm trying to get back to running -- and am starting at a snails pace a few miles a week. It's nice to see what others are doing . . . .

Keep up the good work ladies! I will start training for the 5K after this week. If anyone is interested in running a nice medium 3-4 miles every 2 days or would like a sowal running partner let me know. I doubt I will ever run more than 4 miles. Ever in my life. but running 4 makes the 5k feel like less of a work-out when it happens. Hit me up!

Happy Birthday and don't just love new running shoes? Makes me run faster LOL!
YAY! I ran 13.1 this morning! I did the race course. So, I am 45 minutes out of shape not the 30 as I posted earlier. Now, I am going to show 3rd floor condos. Please let me write an offer today (and hope I can climb the dang stairs!)
Oh, I registered too! For those who haven't, I heard we are nearing 2000!

Supermom! Congrats on the great run! That is my plan next weekend to run the course.

So - I ran a 15K in Pensacola this morning. It felt great! I beat my goal by a good 15 min :) So on my way back - I stopped and got a pedicure :)

Bleh...my schedule caught up with me this week, and I've barely run at all. I plan to get back on the wagon Monday morning. (But I'm a lazy gull--I don't plan to run 13.1 until March 2...:biggrin:)
