Half marathoners and CR refugees (Read 1443 times)

There is a "Half Marathon Trainers" group. http://www.runningahead.com/groups/hmt/ check it out..... JR

I am saddened and sickened by the demise of CR. I miss the daily inspiration, motivation and laughs that the half marathon trainers provided. However, due to the speed (or lack there of) of my internet connection, it is no longer possible for me to post to the "new and not so improved" active.com. It takes me longer to log in than it does for me to run one mile and I am a very, very slow runner. I would be very appreciative is you would let all of our virtual training partners know that I am alive, well and running. I still miss everyone and would like to extend an invitation to this site to anyone who is no longer happy with the CR site. so long, wbertha

I have passed your message over to them, but lots of people do not seem to be having problems because that thread is pretty active. So give the site a bit more time to work out its bugs.

Chuck, JP and Mary, really, really good to hear from some familiar faces (virtually speaking). Hope that the active.com is able to work out some of its problems. I will check back from time to time but for now, sadly it is just not a reasonable option for me. I am thinking about starting a weekly half marathon training site over here. Anyone interested? wbertha

Hey Wbertha! We've been talking about you on the 'new' thread at Active. I think RA is a better site than Active, but the thread is going strong over there. Maybe we can meet over here... I've been keeping my log on RA for several months now, so I personally like this site better too. But it's up to the group. At any rate, you and I can still chat it up here. We're both slow runners and aren't you a Packers fan too, or does my memory fail me??

HI Bertha and Monnik, I am a Packer fan too - located between Madison and Janesville here in Wisconsin. Bertha, I am a slow runner and just getting back to it. After my half in Sept., I burned out and got away from running for a few months. I am thinking about doing the Green Bay Half in May - it has a 4 hour limit so I could walk lots if I needed to. Glad to see some halfers straggling over here. I was sick of the login problems on active and their running log stinks. Mary

Welcome. Simon and Mary. Hey, three out of four are Packer fans...way to go!!! I ran the Green Bay half marathon last year as my first ever run at that distance. A great town, good beer, wonderful finish...when do you get the chance to run thru the players tunnel, around Lambeau Field and have your name announced over the PA at a professional football stadium. I vote...go for it. Simon, hope you are feeling better and that your cold does not linger. Please refresh my memory, where are you from? What event are you look at in April? I have one 5K coming up in Madison in March then a short run in April and hope to be ready for the Fargo Half Marathon on May 17th in North Dakota. DH and I are planning a short vacation in conjunction with the race. Keep on posting!!! wbertha
