    Just did one after having a baby 3 months ago it was great. One huge tip get good socks, shoes are very important everyone knows get big ones but I did not realize that socks also important. I ran a half and a full marathon before using the special two lined socks at a running store and I didn't get any blisters. But I ran this one without them and got huge blisters.

    I am running my first 1/2 in January. I am using Hal Higdon's training plan for beginners. Do a google search for his name to find his website. He has plans for all levels of runners. Good luck! What marathon are you running in?
