Need a Workout Buddy/ Accountability Partner TODAY!!!

DelightfullyWifed

I am going to put myself onto a schedule to get ready to start training for my 1/2 marathon on February 17th . I start that training on November 26th - which means I have 6 weeks to prepare and then the 7th week training starts. I haven't run in like 5 months (WOW) and HAVE to get back at it and fast!

I'm following the Hal Higdon's 1/2 Marathon Novice 2 Program - http://www.halhigdon.com/training/51312/Half-Marathon-Novice-2-Training-Program - so I looked at his 5K programs and decided on the novice with some twists. It has 8 weeks and I only have 6 so this is how I am going to modify it (weeks below): Week 1 - 1, Week 2 - 2 and 3 combined (Tue week 2, Sat week 3), Week 3 - 3 and 4 combined, Week 4 - 4 and 5 combined, Week 5 - 5 and 6 combined, Week 6 - 7. After that it's into marathon training from the link above.

I'm starting this TODAY with week 1 below (decided this morning) and need a buddy to do it with me (you can be anywhere, just have to check in together on MFP) - someone where we can both help each other and stay accountable together. ANY TAKERS?
