New to dailymile - looking for friends.

posted 4 months ago | Report

Hi I am new to the website, a running friend of mine recommended it to me.

I have been running a 5K every month since October. I am currently training to Run the NFE Lincoln National Guard Marathon on May 6, 2012. To prepare for it I am planning on running a 13.1 mile Memorial March in March.

I am looking for friends to help motivate me on those days when I just don't feel like running, and to be able to cheer others on as they train for and reach their goals. Sept 2010 I was going to attempt my first 5K and chickened out so running more than 2 miles is a new thing to me.

Thank you,
Sherie

    You can do it! Motivation is a mental decision. Get a montra - mine is smooth, efficient, calm. over and over. Do some upper body strength work and core and you will be busting out the miles in no time. you go girl

    FR sent. I've been on DM for awhile, but just as a personal log, just started exploring and found the forums. Good for you in getting ready for a marathon. Trying to talk myself into it. Ran my first 1/2 last year, wasn't that long ago when I couldn't even run a mile. Greatest experience!!! Good luck!
