I wish I could get into running. I get bored on a treadmill and I'd get shot if I ran anywhere near my house. I'm considering taking up mtn biking for some cardio....

I think everyone gets bored on a treadmill. I've taken up trail running and it is a blast. Not to mention it is more of a workout than running on the road.

so all of a sudden I have taken up running! Its actually really fun. I'm going to run a half marathon in Moab in October. I've been running three to four miles a day for a week now, but tonight I ran 8 (holy crap) anyways my question is do any of you do this? If so any pointers?

Good shoes are key! You don't have to buy the most expensive shoes out there, but replace them as often as necessary.
Mix it up a little. Run in different areas, throw in a trail run now and then. Participate in one of those organized runs / races. And definitely don't overdo it.

ok peeps, I ran the half marathon in Moab two weekends ago. I ran the whole thing and did 13.1 miles in 2 hrs. And 10 min, which for me seemed very well for my first time :)
