    In Indiana the YMCA has programs every year. We also have organizations that organize runs, usually they provide links to trainers. A local hospital has a good program here. Probably be easy to find on the internet.

    If you want to run for a good cause, the Leukemia Lymphoma Society has a program called Team in Training that is supposed to help anyone be able to do a marathon.

    Jeff Galloway and Hal Higdon have great advice on training for any kind of run.

    I like Jeff's walk run concept... But Hal's ways are practical as well! Good Luck...
