    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.


    We are doing philly full this yr ! Can't wait. Haven't seen the city in 10 plus years.

    Nothing scheduled yet, but I do want to run another one this year. Maybe a triathlon too. Add me if you like, and I can also hook you up with the Weeple Army on Facebook...total race nuts!

    I'm going to tackle my first full in Nashville on April 26. Hope to get a couple halfs in too!

    Glenn, I live in Nashville and am going to do the April marathon here as well. It will be my first in Nashville, but third over all. I will be doing the HALF. Heart issues, but HEY! I'm still doing it.

    I did my first half last May and plan to do my second one this May. Planning to train better this time around and am currently looking at different training plans. Not sure if I should pick a run/walk plan or just a running plan.......????

    I myself have only done half marathons and they were both walking. Now I think I just might be able to walk/run. Hal Higdin (spelling) has several training schedules. The main difference is time vs. a specific set of mileage. I'm starting with the 'Novice' Runner and walk/running when I can. Let me know how you do.
    I'm also doing strength training and yoga as well.

    I officially start the 12 week training next week for April. Keep me posted!

    I ran my first half marathon on Thanksgiving and will have my second on 3/23. Marathon training starts after that. I'll run a couple more halfs during marathon training.

    I'm currently training for 2 half marathons. Whidbey Island Half Marathon in April & Pac Crest Half in June! REALLY REALLY would like to get some weight off before this happens. My best time is from 2 years ago when I was 20 lbs lighter! I'm a GREAT cheer leader, in need of some cheering myself.

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

    The TM was hands down the most fun race I have ever done. I'm doing another one this fall and I'm already so excited!

    My half season is over. I just did my second on Sunday. I have a few smaller races (5k, 8k). I haven't decided what I want to run next winter yet.
