Just don't quit! That's an accomplishment in and of itself! You have plenty of time to train and be ready!Suz and Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703593542540533784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131995415964574451.post-64023216349240142252011-11-12T15:22:04.998-08:002011-11-12T15:22:04.998-08:00I AM BEYOND EXCITED TO READ THIS! Wahoo! I cannot ...I AM BEYOND EXCITED TO READ THIS! Wahoo! I cannot wait to follow your training and cheer you on as you cross that finish line - which I know you will, without a doubt!<br /><br />(For the record, I don't like the term "jogger" either. You run or walk, some running is just SLOWER! Hehe...)<br /><br />I am so thrilled for you, like I said. I am also glad I got to read more about your running and fitness/health journey. Amazing. You are more of an inspiration to me than you know! I am so glad you wrote this post. <br /><br />The date is going on my calendar for sure - I don't want to miss it!<br /><br />As always, you know you can ask me any questions you may have. Keep reading my "Keeping the Pace" posts too since we will be starting a new session in December and I will be writing more of them. It will be like you are training with us from afar - yay!<br /><br />So happy, Elle! :)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382569552132982982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131995415964574451.post-35885955165728381962011-11-12T05:59:19.639-08:002011-11-12T05:59:19.639-08:00Elle....I think this is terrific!

If you think you need to take a day easier than the plan says DO IT! Figure out what you like to carry with you for hydration a handheld or waist belt. I prefer a waist belt. <br /><br />So excited for you! Good luck with training I will be following it!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your running story I love reading how people found running or running found them.Christy @ My Dirt Road Anthem: A Runner's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05571125963317402377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131995415964574451.post-80609940683548314462011-11-11T10:03:03.944-08:002011-11-11T10:03:03.944-08:00what a great tale of your running journey! you ca...what a great tale of your running journey! you can definitely do this!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004930640458109084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131995415964574451.post-3259712996761942922011-11-11T09:13:07.498-08:002011-11-11T09:13:07.498-08:00I am so happy for you, your prize, and the upcomin...I am so happy for you, your prize, and the upcoming half!<br /><br />You are going to rock it and there is so much support out there for you. My suggestion, if you have a question, just ask and we will all answer. The blogger community provided so much support for me during my marathon training and even answered questions like, should I run tomorrow or am I too sick? <br /><br />And yeah, I don't like the word jogging either unless it is in front of the work stroller because then it makes me feel strong. Go figure!Erica Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760964844822684302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131995415964574451.post-4908436374749924072011-11-11T07:54:07.593-08:002011-11-11T07:54:07.593-08:00such a great story Elle!

Taking it nice and easy, with a little dedication and determination will get you to that finish line! So cool your husband is going to run it with you too!

If you can run 8 miles,...You are going to do great! If you can run 8 miles, you can run a half marathon. The first time I trained my longest long run was 10 miles. And I finished my race! I agree with Caroline. You should have a running schedule and if you feel like skipping a day, that is okay, but it's better Not to skip the long run day. Don't worry too much about adhering specifically to the schedule. I shuffled days around, and ended up okay. Just make sure that you do have a designated rest day (or 2)<br /><br />Also, just have fun!Kyria @ Travel Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889638304509763419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131995415964574451.post-65284789227041896742011-11-10T16:37:30.271-08:002011-11-10T16:37:30.271-08:00you can do this. I know you can because I could. ...you can do this. I know you can because I could. My blog is all about training for a half marathon. that is why I started my blog because I was training for my first half (jan 2011). my advices...get a plan for sure. I used Hal Higdon's for all 4 of my halfs. I use the intermediate now but for the first I used beginner.<br /><br />find fuel that will work for you asap and start practicing using it asap also. <br /><br />if you have to skip a run, dont skip long runs. you have plenty of times and I would get your body and mind used to the double digits as much as I can, that was something that hurt me the first time.<br /><br />for the first one, dont go for time go for finishing and the experience.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784257254057007640noreply@blogger.com
