    Hi Tina! I am new, too. My training partner, moved away, got married and is more interested in triathlons than running, so I am reaching out for more support as I train for the Marine Corps Marathon in October. Yay to you for just starting running last January and already doing a half marathon - you are doing many things right!!!!!

    Hi John! Great goal :) How is the training going? I am up to 6 miles but am having some discomfort in my left shin :( Been icing and elevating daily but I wish it would just go away. Still able to run but am having to take it easy on the hills. :(
    Best of luck on your training!

    Hi Pamela! I am sorry to hear that your partner moved :( Mine just moved about 30 min away. I know that isn't that far, but it does make it a challenge to run together.
    Best of luck on your upcoming Marathon, sounds exciting!

    That is great that you are getting into running. Having a goal like the 1/2 in November really makes the training a little easier. It also makes the actual race a lot of fun. People on this site are very supportive. FR sent

    Hi Tina! Sent a FR to you. I started running around January too but just really got serious about it a couple months ago. I was going to run a half in October but we just don't have the money for it right now and it sold out already (hershey half). Hoping to run my first half in May now. Good luck with your training!

    Hey, good luck with the training! Going from not running to doing a half in 11 months is a pretty good effort. Which Rock n Roll are you running? FR sent.
