Welcome Cheffy! I'm pretty new to the boards too. Lots of funny folks here, and quite a chatty bunch too. I started the c25k last July and have been running since. Welcome! p.s. I'm one of those "cat" people

Welcome RunCheffyRun. Members of this site gave me a number of tips and tons of encouragement. I finally had the courage to start and finish a marathon. You're in good company.

Hi Cheffy.

* Waves* you're probably thinking " Oh Shit, I can't escape her anywhere anymore.... "

Hi Cheffy, Welcome - or should I say "welcome back?" It sounds like you've learned a lot about running and about you in the short time that you've been running. Smart runners are always the best runners, and it seems that you are well on your way. There are a lot of smart runners on this forum (myself excluded), and there is a lot to be learned from them, in between the yuks. Best of luck in tomorrow's half! I'm looking forward to your race report, and your perspective on the experience. Jay
