I'm training for my first half on 3/3 and would love some first-timers to virtually train with and support. Anyone starting this "slightly scary" adventure soon?? :)

    I'm near the end of HM training. It is my first, so you can add me if you want :) My half is 4/4, so its coming up quick.

    My midweek medium run will be indoors today, as we got surprise snow! I'm usually okay with running in the snow, but I don't want to slip and get injured so close to race day.

    You're training for a race that's already happened?

    I ran 10 miles the other day and it felt great... That night I had a bottle of wine to celebrate... I accidentally signed up for a half that night... Sooooo I guess I'm training for a half as well.

    I'll also be doing a 10 mile race at the end of April in addition to the half on 4/4. My training will be similar :)

    Are you running the Pittsburgh Marathon on May 3rd? I am training for the half as well. I am using Hal Higdon Half Marathon Training Novice 2. Finishing out week 7. I ran my long Saturday run on Wednesday because I have plans Saturday morning.

    I did my first half last fall. Have another couple on the schedule over next few months- including one tomorrow! It's my favorite distance so far. We'll see what I think of full marathons and ultra running :smiley:

    I'm training for my first half on May 16. I'm following Hal Higdon Half Marathon Training Novice 1 (as much as I can manage anyway). :)

    I'm running my first half tomorrow! Did Hal Higdon's Novice 2 and loved it.

    Good luck!
