Hi Everyone: I'm a former half marathoner who moved, got incredibly depressed, stopped running altogether, when I got it together, I got pregnant, had two kids in 18 months, and now I"m back and ready. Happy as can be...and I LOVE running - I'm 219 pounds, and have a long way to go...but I"m dying to run another half - and maybe, hopefully a full marathon. Those are my long term goals for sure! I just joined BTL last night and am so psyched to be back to blogging (I was on Roni's former site too). I was really glad to find this board!

Hi everyone, just joined BTL last night. I started running in January and slowly and steadily built my way up over the year. I ran a 5km, 8km, and couple 10 kilometre races and over the summer trained for my first half marathon. I haven't been running lately. I really lost all motivation with the cooler temperatures and dark nights. Once I get the kids to bed all I want to do is curl up on the couch by the fire. I decided to sign up for a half marathon clinic this winter to keep me motivated. Hopefully the commitment to a group of people will be enough to get my lazy butt out the door! My goal race is called the hypothermic half-sounds warm ha ha! Anyway looking forward to swapping stories and keeping each other motivated over the winter months.

I started running with the C25K in May, 2008. I can now run for 60 minutes, but am just starting to work on getting a little faster. I signed up for my very first 5K (at least the first one in the last 25 years!). It's on Sunday Nov 2 and I'm getting psyched! What do I need to know before I run??? Any ideas?

Tomorrow I am starting the Run/Walk program for my first 5K in a while. I want to take it slow so I do not get hurt or feel too overwhelmed.....here goes nothing!

Runners,
I had a baby 6 weeks ago and am trying to get back into running now. I was really into running when I found out I was pregnant (did several 5ks). I am by no means fast but I am the slow and steady turtle that wins the race:) Any advice on how to get back into running without hurting myself lol:)

I am working towards a 10K (my first race) with my little brother on Thanksgiving morning. I ran 4 miles yesterday! (Started running 3 weeks ago)

Hello, I started running in March 2008 and I just love it. I did a few 5K and I would like to do a half-marathon next year.

I use the iPod + Nike+, I run mostly outside but with the cold weather coming soon I'll run on the treadmills at home. I live in Canada, near Ottawa.

Two days until my 5k (trying to get until 30minutes)

Hey guys- I need some of your lovely expertise. I've been running now for a little over a year and just doing it mostly for my enjoyment. I'm now in a big ol' rut; I'd love to increase my speed (I'm ridiculously slow)- any ideas on the best way to do that? Intervals? Or even better if anyone has a program/guide to follow I'd love it!

I'm in.. a new member and a new runner. Training for a 1/2 marathon on November 9th (despite anterior tibialis tendonitis).
