So, how is training going? What are your immediate/current goals? Any longer-term goals you're working towards?

My immediate goal for this week is to go running 3 times. My #1 obstacle is getting going at all, because I'm a lazy bum, who's never been into sports.

Outside that, my current goals are (still) to:

1. Go running 3 times a week every week.
2. Run 5.5 k in 35 mins. Currently I'm at 38 mins (6:55 min/km).

Looong-term goals are to:

1. Participate in a ½-marathon (alternating running and walking), finishing in 2h 35m or less.
2. Run 10 k in 1 hour or less.

Considering my laziness, I'm not really sure how realistic those are :oD

We actually sound like we're pretty similar in terms of where we're at/times we're aiming for! Unfortunately, I'm just getting over pneumonia, so god knows when I'll actually be able to run again. :(

Good luck with your goals!

I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one who isn't already running marathons/½-marathons regularly :oD

Ack, pneumonia sounds not good - hope you're all better soon!
