    I will be starting my 3rd week of training tomorrow for my first half on May 17th. I'm following Hal Higdons novice 2 plan.

    I'm doing the Nike app training program this time. My first one I did Hal Higdons novice 2 also. I am excited for the motivation of an actual run to get me to commit to waking up at 4am! I have been inconsistent in my running so this is just what I needed. My run is last weekend of May 31st!!! Yeeee

    Once winter is gone for good, I'm going back to my 3+ outdoor runs a week! I did my very first race a few weeks back, a 5-mile race on Valentine's Day. I want to get back into the swing of running. I'd love to train for a half!

    Currently just working on slowly getting myself back out there!

    I got a half marathon that I signed up for in April. Only 6 weeks to go. Good luck to yours.

    Just finished my peak training week for my 5k which is next Sat. After that, I start my training cycle for my next half marathon in May. This will be the first time I will want to go after a specific time goal - I'm hoping for a sub 2 hour. It will be my 6th. I'm hoping to work with a running coach to help lay out a good-for-me training plan. ;)

    It's such a fun distance. Not as painful as full-on racing a 5k, but not as beastly as a full marathon, either. ;) I'm looking forward to it.

    OP: do you have any particular goals or thoughts about your 2nd half, now that you've successfully completed one already? Good luck!

    I am training for a 10K - hope to do a half maybe this fall. I am dealing with a little plantar fasciitis right now and will be very slow at adding mileage. I was able to get back outside again tonight for the first time in over a week - snow is melting again!

    Good luck to you all with upcoming runs also!! My time for my first was 2:15 so I want to beat that time. The last few month my running hasn't been on point... Just been busy so that's why I'm very excited to have somthing to get me re/committed. I would love to continue to share running goals ect... Whoever wants to add a friend!!

    YUP!! I reached my goal weight in December and have wanted to drop a few more pounds to get to ideal racing weight. It's been a REAL struggle to eat at a deficit though! I'm super hungry! So, not just you.

    That was my exact first half marathon time too! :) Great job. I bet you'll best it on your next attempt. I find that signing up for races brings my running into focus better week to week and helps me stay on track. Good luck with your race - and everyone else here training for their next half, too!

    Last time my goal was to finish without walking and I did that... This time I want to improve speed. So my training will be harder

    Halfs are my favorite distance! I've been out of commission for a few months but the weather is getting warmer and my feet are ITCHING! I'm going to live vicariously through all of you.

    My 5th half is on April 19th, and my first 25k is on May 9th. Then I will switch to trails and will run a trail half (or 2 or 3) this summer.

    My first half marathon on May 10th (technically my 2d, but the other was 25 years ago). Done London Marathon back in 2011, but spinal injury screwed me over for 3 years. Hoping to hit 2'05 or better

    Currently training for a 100k. Got out at the weekend for my first proper run in a while and managed 7 miles on Saturday and 13 on Sunday. I'm just trying to get as much time as possible.
    I have a marathon I am going to run in June as part of my training. I am really not looking forward to the 7 or 8 hour training runs around July time.

    I am running a 1/2 marathon on Saturday, part of Ragnar relay team in April and then 1/2 marathon in May before we move across the country. Training will then start up again around the end of July.

    Good luck!

    Best of luck! I am sure you will do great!

    I am doing a marathon end of April. I consider it a 1st for me since the only other one I ran was 12 years ago! After that I am going to switch gears and train for an Olympic Tri in July along with running a trail 1/2 marathon in June.

    I will probably find another road 1/2 in the late summer or early fall to do as well. I am not huge on racing however I do like signing up for races every now and then to keep my running on track. It has been very sporactic since having kids!
