Did a half a few years ago, unsure of my time but nothing to write home about. I trained about 6 months and then took about 2yrs. off. Started running again this year but have never done anything serious.
Short-Term Running Goals:
keep running, stay fit and healthy, while having fun. Would like to get my mileage up to 25 miles a week and plan some short races when I get confident with my speed.
2 miles on the treadmill is a lot better than no miles at all. Our celebration yeasterday came after the run was over and I knew I didn't have to run again that day and that my long run was done for the week.

I agree with Clyde here - 2 miles is better than a zero. Sometimes you do have to cut the run short. However, being bored should never be the reason. Distances half-marathon and over are very unforgiving. They know no mercy and take no excuses. If you have obeyed the laws of fitness, they obey you, but if you have been cutting your runs short or skipping them altogether, the punishment is severe and ruthless.

Michelle, stay positive about your running, one step at a time. One ocmment to note, I find it beneficial when coming back to running from being off due to an injury or some other reason, to allow myself a break or two during the run. A break may give give you enough get up and go for going the extra mile.
