I started about 1 1/2 years ago. Nothing serious. I try for at least a 3-5 miles. Only got two days in this week. Most I ever did is 7 miles. I try and average no more than a 8:40 mile. Male nurse, does your wife use ear buds for the phone on her arm? If so which ones. I don't do any 5k's or nothing, but may start. My work competes with local companies in a corporate shield series.

I've ran a handful of halves, 1 full and a couple Ragnar relay races (203 miles). For me - I'm either training for a race, training for an elk hunt, or I don't run at all. One of the things I enjoy most about running organized races is the atmosphere they seem to have. I'm not competitive at all - I'm way too slow to be. There's such a positive energy being among thousands of other healthy, goal-oriented, hard-working folks - people who have been getting up an hour early for the last 6 months and pounding the pavement to be there. And everyone seems so supportive of one another. It's a cool thing.
I don't think I'll ever run another full marathon though. The training was such a major time killer. Having to carve out 2, 3 or even 4 hours each Saturday for my weekly long-run was a challenge. I was amazed, however, at how readily a person's body responds to the training. I've used various training programs that are available online. It takes so much of the guess work out of it as it tells you how many miles to run each day in order to be ready for the race. Cool stuff.

I'm a runner, especially trail running. I enjoy the challenge. I ran a half trail marathon last weekend in the slop and snow. Loved it! Keep up the good work!

I considered myself a runner most of my life. I only ran once that would I considered completion after high school that was 1/4 mile sprint. I was about 25 at the time got greased by some younger runners. My son ran cross country in high school and I'd go with him on some 3-4 mile training runs. Never did the longer 8-10 mile deal with him didn't want to slow him down. I ran off and on never did the 5ks and fundraiser things, just ran for myself. Did pretty good right to about age 50 could hold my own in my age group keep up with some youngsters. Then just got bored and Forest Gumped it..All done running now! Took to just fast walking keep my legs under me. Only ran short distances to get out of the way things that might hit me or fall on me.. Couple years back when the cancer got me I really lost my legs. Lost a lot of muscle with the down time and had a worn out hip replaced just over a year ago. Right now I'm getting as close to back to actually be able to run as I haven't for last 3 years. What sucks about that is I'm now destroying what is left of my other hip..Bad genetics.. Got a 30 something niece does the 100 mile bike races, Ragnars, Mud runs, neat stuff they didn't do in my peak days. I'd love to take my son go with her on one of the shorter adventures just cause.... Right now though if someone yells run! I'd have to settle for hobble duck and cover. LOL hope I don't get shot or the tree falls beside me. So I say run why ya can and enjoy, just remember you may pay later. Like a car ya wear out your tires, suspension, maybe even blow up your engine.. Factory didn't put no grease fittings on my hips. Design flaw..

I’ve run a few marathons, but trail running is a different beast. A little northeast of Lock Haven is Hyner View. I ran the Hyner Challenge there. That was a kick in the pants. Congrats on running what sounds like a tough first race. Congrats on the Hyner! the people we were with have done it and said the frozen snot is harder but the Hyner is really thought too.

Last time I ran was high school sports, running is work and I get paid to work and you would have to pay ALOT to get me to run.

If you have Netflix, look up The Barkley Marathons. This is a race for the insane Indeed! That’s one crazy race! Myself, I’ve been a runner for 35 years...have run a number of full marathons....the last being Boston in 2014, the year after the terrorist attack. It was pretty amazing. Probably my last full marathon. But it was a great one to go out on

I bacpack and lift weights, but never had much gumption to run. Someday, maybe. Congratulations on your half marathon!

Only if there is a bad dude behind me and I'm out of bullets...
Or a mean mama cow, but she will go to the packer the next time I have her in the pen...
Life is to short for bucking horses and fighting cows...
Good Luck and God Bless you and yours,
