I'm trying to move the thread www.runningahead.com/frm_topic.aspx?id=d262ecd095fd4a7e8aceccb21147b106 over here because it's more appropriate for a group discussion than general forums. I've been using the thread as a weekly blog about my half-marathon training, but I would encourage other HMers to post here. We can learn from eachother's experiences and encourage eachother along the way. Janell
