Hi all! I'm new to the boards, but I wanted to know who else here is a runner? Recreational, elite, racing, whoever, just wanted to see! I run mostly recreationally (and of course to *try* and stay in shape), but every once in a while I do races, and I'm trying to build up to a half-marathon in the spring.
Hope to meet some fellow runners!

I do mostly recreational and conditioning. Running is essential conditioning to wrestling.

Hello
I do recreational running and charity 5K races. Though I don't run so much in the winter...the cold, dark evenings means I either run or swim at the weekend and do yoga at home during the week.

I want to get into running more. I ran a couple charity 5ks before, but I'd like to get into racing.

I run everyday, In the Marine Corps so I kinda have to. When I first joined the military I hated it, but once I realized that there were easier ways to run without being in so much pain, it got rather enjoyable. Now my day doesn't start until I get at least 4 or 5 miles in.
I was the same way when I joined the military. I had never run a full mile before I went to basic, haha. That changed really quickly though.
I just signed up for a 5k to do in a few weeks, but then I got notified that it had been canceled. Bummer! I sign up for races to keep myself motivated to run so that I do better on my physical fitness tests. Especially as the weather is getting colder, it's harder for me to motivate myself to run at 530am.

Hiya! What half are you planning on doing? I'm thinking about the Madison Half Marathon. I went to school at UW, and my grandma lives there, so I'll have at least one person there to cheer me on
I've kinda hit a running slump, so now I've got to buckle down if I want to not be last, lol.

I really want to do the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon half in the spring. I'm originally from Oklahoma so that's always been one I've really wanted to do.
I have a hard time with motivation too, especially since it's getting so cold outside! I can't seem to make myself get up at 5:30am and run when it's under 40 degrees, haha.

I can easily see why the folks at home want to eliminate Hell from their theology, preaching and thought. Hell is indeed awful unless its preaching is joined to a life laid down by the preacher. How can a man believe in Hell unless he throws away his life to rescue others from its torment? If there is no Hell, the Bible is a lie. If we are not willing to go to Hell on earth for others, we cannot preach it.

I am getting desperately afraid of going to heaven for I have had the vision of the shame I shall suffer as I get my first glimpse of the Lord Jesus; His majesty, power and marvellous love for me, who treated Him so meanly and shabbily on earth, and acted as though I did Him a favour in serving Him! No wonder God shall have to wipe away the tears off all faces, for we shall be broken-hearted when we see the depth of His love and the shallowness of ours.

Fellow runner here . I've run four half marathons and I am now training for my first marathon. I'm signed up to run the Big Sur Marathon the end of April. Motivation is a huge factor in training...especially when the long runs start getting longer and longer. If you want any tips for training for the half just let me know.
