I'm new to this forum, and I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 28 years old, and live in Winnipeg, Canada. I have 2 beautiful daughters, ages 8 and 2. I've been married for 2 1/2 years. I've always been somewhat active. I've been officiating tackle football for 11 years. I started running regularly about 1 year ago. We have a Marathon here in Winnipeg every Father's day. I'm hoping to be ready to participate in the 1/2 Marathon. Although I've been running for about 1 year, I just recently started tracking my data. Any advice from "experienced" runners is welcome.

Canadian football. Played by real men, not overpaid little girls. Wink

Love Milt, Canada, Glenn, and Roberts...... but I loved knocking you guys out of the playoffs even more. Big grin

Wasn't so happy when the Riders ruined my Grey Cup plans...... I actually considered selling my tickets. Jason

Ultimately you will want to run longer than 2 miles at a pop. you might want to look online for a beginner program... how about this one... http://www.marathonrookie.com/half-marathon-training.html at the very least it will get folks taking about your question...
