    I am training for another half marathon in April. Trying to get my pace down to around 10:00 for this next half. Some day I will be fast!

    I'm training for my first half sometime in the spring...I started Hal Higdon's 12 week training program, but I haven't found a good local half to sign up for yet.
  • I am training for my 2nd marathon on March 17th. Also planning to do 3 other races this year. All with a goal of driving improved health and fitness.
  • I have 3 halfs I'm training for this spring. One in April and 2 in May.

    Awesome on your second full....that will be me in October (God willing).

    I will be starting training in two weeks for a half at the end of April! This will be my third half marathon, although my last one was in February 2011, so it's been a while and I am basically starting from scratch!

    I will be training for a 10 miler in May and then my second half in June (both in Chicago)..I will be working on my speed during the winter a bit since I'm stuck on the treadmill.

    I am training for a 10 miler at the moment, but hoping to do a half in spring too.

    I have my first half on January 12. I have two others planned... March 16 and April 14. I'm contemplating the Chicago Marathon in October, but it will depend on how these races go!

    I'm looking into joining a local running club's training program for the April one. I've been following the Hal Higdon plan for my first.

    Feel free to add me to your friend's list!

    I'm running my second half on April 13 in Kansas City- hoping to increase my pace by almost a minute (1st half pace was 10:52.) Then I'm running my first full in October in Chicago, I hope to finish in under 5 hours.

    I'm planning to run my 7th full marathon sometime this spring but it won't be in March! Too early for this northerner. I will probably run one in May or June.

    My husband and I are training for an Adventure race the last weekend in April.

    It's 10 Mile running/Orienteering, 14 Miles mountain biking and 5 Miles Kayaking.

    I am training for my second half in April. The first one was a total bust - cramping, had to make pit stops, and my time was 2:46. This time around, my training program says I should be able to do it under 2 hours. Don't think I believe that, but I do know I will be able to beat my first time by a huge margin!

    I have only been running for a year, so waiting on marathons for at least another year.
