    I am starting on a 10k with the idea of moving on to the half marathon training. SIL wants to do one together

    I did my first in May and I've not signed up for a second yet...but getting itchy to do a second so thought I'd start up the training schedule again.

    I am three weeks out from my first duathlon (10k run, 44k bike, 5k run) but after that I will start training for a half a few weeks after that.

    I am itching to get started truth be told. I've been bitten hard by the running bug!

    You should check out this thread:

    It looks like a good way of keeping your head in the game ;)

    I considered it but then felt like it was a horrible idea. You have to run a lot in practice.

    I've just signed up for a half in March. There's a training group in my area associated with USAFit that I'll train with until then. Our time placement run is this weekend. I'm definitely up for a virtual training buddy as well!

    So you waffled on the idea?

    Actually as soon as it cools off a bit I'll do a 13+ mile run every weekend. It's just too hot right now for me to enjoy that. As for doing an actual race? I'm undecided for now.
