1/2 Marathon . . . yep I decided I want to run one!

CharleneN

I have never ran anything, not a 5k, not a 10k, not a 1/2 or whole marathon but I decided I want to! I use to love running and 2.5 years ago I was consistently running 3 miles in 30 minutes but then had to quit running. So I've decided I'm going to give it a shot, what have I got to lose. I have about 27 weeks to prepare so I'm doing a 14 week training plan and then still have a good 12 weeks to keep it up. I have 5k's available to me to run every month starting in April or May I believe so that will give me some good practice of outside running as right now treadmills are my only big option since it is pretty snowy and cold up here.

Anyone else setting big goals for themselves??
