Friendless in Maine

posted 11 months ago | Report

Hi!

I am new to the daily mile and desperately need ok want friends here. Who doesn't want to feel wanted right? I have been running now for 18 months and 9 of those I was pregnant with my now 6 month old son. I have a before I turn 30 goal to run a half and I signed myself up for a September one. Now I'm just sloooowly picking away at putting down some miles. I'm up to 13 miles a week now. I just need some motivation and help so please be my friend and help me prove I can do this!

    Hi, Christina. I'm a New Hampshire "neighbor." I started running two summers ago and have my first half coming up in two weeks in Portland. Welcome to Daily Mile. There are lots of friends to be found here.

    HI Christina! I was born and raised in Maine! But now I live in TX. I just started running in the new year. I may or may not do a half in October...haven't decided yet. The furthest I've run so far is 7 miles, so 13 seems a big leap from that, but it's a ways off so I might start following a training plan and see what happens!

    Hello NH neighbor! Good Luck with your first half! Jess Maine to TX a big difference! Where in ME are you from? And yes if you can go 7 now then 13 in October is doable! Or at least I am really hoping so because I am up to 7 now and have my half in Sept!

    Welcome Christina...I'm a new runner too..only since February. This was the year I turned 50 and really wanted to prove to myself that age is just a number. I have run 3 5'ks this year and am scheduled for my first 10k in September. My long term goal is to run a 1/2 next year. Welcome to DM; FR sent
