    I've just decided to do a half marathon May 26th and need to start training as well. I've trained with Hal Higdon's Novice 1 before, so thought I'd use that plan again.

    I'm doing my first half this weekend (New Years Race - LA at Night), as well as Tinker Bell later in the month. Getting ready to sign up for the Hollywood Half on April 6th - though I'm having surgery Jan 31st, so may not quite be up to snuff in time. There may be a lot of walking involved on that one. :-)

    Just started running in July; it's pretty awesome! Feel free to send me a friend invite.

    I have a half coming up in April. I've done 2 fulls and 2 halves before, but it's been about 5 years since I've raced at that distance. I did a 10k in November and remembered how fun the races are! Feel free to add me.

    Good luck!

    Just signed up for my first half-marathon this June! I've done a few 10ks, so I thought this would be the challenging next step.

    Feel free to add me. I've just signed up for my 4th half marathon on April 13th. My goal is to come in under 2 hours (ran my last in 2:04). I'm using Hal Higdon's Intermediate training plan. I start my training on January 21st.

    I signed up to run a half in May and am currently working my way through the C25K program. Please add me!

    So inspiring to see so many people training for their first 1/2 marathon. I hope to join you all in early May. I am going back and forth between 2 races- the NJ 1/2 Marathon and the Brooklyn 1/2 Marathon. I am also deciding between which training plan to use. I am looking at Hal Higdon's Novice 1 or Novice 2 and just continue to track my runs with mapmyrun or start using Runkeeper and their beginner's 1/2 marathon plan.

    I started with C25K last February and then moved on to the 10K plan. It took me awhile to build up to the 6 miles, having to repeat weeks over since I was training in the summer, but now I try and jog that every other day.

    Good luck to everyone!!!

    please add me as a friend. I am starting training for my first 1/2 in April. Never done anything longer than 10 so crossing my fingers I am up for the task. Is anyone out there training solo or did you sign up for a training group. One is starting in my area at the end of the month and not sure if it really worth the money or better to tackle this on my own.

    I'm doing my 2nd official half marathon next month, Rock n Roll Pasadena. Did my first last September. I still consider myself a novice. I learn something new everyday and I'm using a different training plan for this half marathon. My goal fir my first half was to finish standing...and I did! lol! Now I want to beat my time. I've lost 8 lbs since and have already improved my pace.

    Also running a virtual (non-official) Sandy Hook Elementary Memorial Half Marathon this month, I'm splitting it in two as I don't want to mess with my training plan.

    And I'll be running my first mountain trail run in March, so I've registered for the 10K to check things out.

    My goal is to do at least one race each month, and give triathlon's a shot in 2014. Who knew I could do this in my 40's!!

    Add me if you'd like! :happy:
