My friends are pressuring me!!!

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

To train for a half marathon in May. ?I don't run.

Part of me wants to do it because I need to commit to something to get in shape. Also I need some time for myself and this would be a great way to make sure I keep up with it.

I'm conflicted.?

    I have several friends who are running one in May, too.  We run anywhere from 4-6 miles 3 days a week together... but I don't know how I feel about 13.  It is a great way to stay motivated though!

    I would do it! It's a huge sense of accomplishment to finish a race. You could always run/walk, you don't have to run the whole thing.

    For me, running has always been my "me" time. I love it and the way it makes me feel.

    Do it!  Half is a great distance and you can totally train for it from scratch. There's a guy named Hal Higgins (I think) who has a good training website. Running is great for alone time...Go Mama!

    That's the one, but I had to say no because we go to the river that weekend. ?Memorial is our official start of summer. ?There's a half marathon in LJ at the end of April, so we might choose that one.

    I wouldn't do it myself. I'm too afraid of blown knees.

    I will trade blown knees for abs of steel, lol

    Luckily I'm pretty well intact so far, if I feel like I'm pushing it then I'd lay off the running.

    obviously I don't know you, but I bet you would be a star.  You seem very organized and determined.  I think you would stick to training and pull it off.  I do 10K's and have done nothing more.  It would be a challenge, but why not?  GL
