    Does the tough mudder count as a half? (I know it's only about 12 miles but still)

    TM is my dream!

    I don't run on uneven surfaces well d/t an ankle injury. An injured ankle = no work for me = no bills paid = you get the picture!

    I have the Soaring Wings HM scheduled in October that I will be running. I am also looking for a full marathon to run, but that will towards the end of the year. And I plan to run the Little Rock Marathon in 2015.

    Hi! I'm an avid runner and a personal trainer going from bulk back down to my marathon running weight. Attempting to drop 30 pounds (split between muscle and fat) to limit stress on my knee's. I'm aiming to lose all the weight by May and run a half in June. You're welcome to add me! :)

    Probably no 1/2s this year, but I just want to say best wishes to all training for 1/2 and full marathons (and beyond)! I did my first half in Detroit in October and it was wonderful. I am hoping to do it again in 2015.

    I'm doing the Nashville Rock and Roll 1/2 in April. Quite excited. New runner and will do a fair amount of walking, but this time last year I could barely walk 1/2 a mile. Sunday I ran 7. Amazing what you can do if you set your mind to it.

    I have a half in 20 days :noway: eeekkkk!!!!! Feb. 2
    Another one on May 4th.
    Maybe a couple of 5 or 10ks in between, and I might be thinking of doing a couple more races later in the year. I need to get past these 2 halfs first.

    I have a 10 miler in April. I want to do another half also, but what with graduating college and moving to a new place (hopefully) to start a job (gulp), I'm not sure when/where that will work out to be.

    My race schedule for the year:

    Vancouver Half Marathon - May 2014
    Seattle Rock and Roll Half Marathon - June 2014
    Goodlife Fitness Victoria Half or Marathon (Probably half) - October 2014

    I've done one HM before and didn't train too much - just aimed "to finish." This year I've been building up a mileage base and hope to train more consistently this spring. I hope to finish Vancouver under 2h. We'll see!

    So far I've got a half in Arizona next month and the North Olympic Discovery Half here in WA in June on my calendar. I believe those are half marathons #21 and #22.

    I'm doing the Philly Rock 'n Roll Half in September (HM #7 for me) and then the Philadelphia Marathon in November (my first full).

    I'll probably pick up a spring/early summer half to check where I am in my training, but I haven't decided yet.

    Training for my first HM in March. Limassol Cyprus HM supposed to be really good for a beginner as it's flat along the seafront and shouldn't be too hot in Cyprus in March.

    My first Full Marathon is Lake Placid in June! I might race a 1/2 while training and there is a really nice 1/2 in Saratoga in September! I don't race too much because of the costs!
