If you have any questions please let me know! I hope to see you all on January 12th!
ahhh this is perfect! I am from NJ and looking for a Spring Half Marathon! I have run the NJ Half Marathon and was going to skip it this year but given the devastation to my town I feel I want to run it more than ever and you just gave me the push I need! I am signing up and will see you Saturday!!
Fantastic! I’m so glad you’ll be joining us and supporting NJ!
Wow, this really makes me wish I had a spring half in the cards! Any chance you and Abby will run a training program for a fall 2013 13.1? I’d definitely be interested! 🙂
Right now there’s just a spring training group. You can join us anyway!
Ah man! I would give anything to be able to train with you all! Living in Norther CA makes is my only set back…. Good luck!!
Aaaah, this looks so awesome! I’m running Big Sur which is the week before, so won’t be at the NJ half, but good luck to everyone involved. You guys will ROCK!
Hi! I would love to run with you ladies. I am signed up for the NJ Half. I am in DC until MLK day but am ready to run after that. Will contact you when I get back.
Thanks!
Marisa
Awesome!
Hi! I’m running my first half on 3/23 and plan for the NJ half to be my second. I’ve been agonizing for weeks over whether to get a coach. This may be just what I need. Do you have a max pace in mind? I’m a running newbie with a pace of about 12min/mile and I don’t know if I could keep up with the group.
Everyone will be at different paces. I’m not sure there’s a way to predict what paces people will be running at until after we meet. However, no one gets left behind. Everyone runs at their own pace!
Hi Jess – any recommendations for the best books on nutrition for runners? I’m really looking for something science/research-based. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hmm… good question. I generally read more general nutrition books and honestly haven’t come across any great ones for runners that are science based.
I have been reading your blog for a few months now and really enjoy reading it. I just signed up for NJ Half . Do we just arrive at LULU at 9:00, Jan 12 for meeting? Looking forward to it.
