I started running/jogging last November with Lisa.
She ran the half Marathon last October and the Londaon Marathon this year!

I went to a few Park Run 5Ks and get into the swing of it. I was happy to run up to 10K without a break at my own pace (not particularaly fast but what I could happily manage).
I had a break during January due to a chest infection and then stopped again in April when I started Roller Derby ('Derby was more exciting!).
I have just downloaded a training plan (this one) to follow that will get me to around the 2 hour time for running a Half Marathon (hopefully!) I onyl chose it becasue it looked managable and I was happy with the format. I can't say if it's any good yet!
I'll try and keep you updated on how the training is going.
I have to say after yesterday sprint session I felt like I'd worked REALLY hard, even if it was for only 3 minutes!!

Well done for getting started Laur - that's always the hardest bit :) Are you going to do a weekly half marathon blog post?
Thanks for the mention - ha! The San Domenico race was crazy, so hilly! I've just been re-visiting the results. I came 276th and was in the 'senior women's' category!! That makes me sound about 150!
