I just signed-up for my first half in 2 years (4th overall.) It's a small one in the town I live in, Papillion, NE. Incidentally, my last was the same venue. It's a tough course and it kicked my butt the last time. Training in Nebraska in the Winter isn't always so easy. Turns out, I wasn't trained up enough to meet my goal.

    I am doing a 10K in April, a half in June and a 10K and a full in September. I did another half two weeks ago. Good luck with your race! When is it?

    Thanks! The race is May 17th. I've been training for 7 weeks. I just finally got around to signing up.
    Wow. You have a busy race schedule. That's awesome.

    I have a trail 6k coming up, then I think i'll sign up for a 10k and then ultimately I have a half in June. But i'll throw whatever else comes my way in there.

    I set a goal of doing a half marathon every month for 2015. Did the first one of the year February 14 doing one March 28 one in April and Indy Mini May 2nd.

    I will tell you that I don't run I'm a walker. I average av15:25 min pace.

    Good luck everyone.

    I'm also set up for 1-2 half marathons a month. I did 13? In 11 different states back around 2005-07. I'm excited to get back into it. I'm totally a walker. But I enjoy it. My first is april 11. Most are in Iowa this year. Several for the Ronald house; one at night in Springfield, il cemetary in May.

    I am signed up for a half in November. Miles away but I haven't been running since my treatment for cancer over the last 2 years. This will be a major milestone for me in my recovery.

    Humber Bridge Half Marathon at the end of June, will use the Eyam half marathon in mid May as a hilly test run. These will be my 2nd and 3rd HMs. The big test for me is a full at the end of September but that's a different forum. Currently using Fitzgeralds 80/20 plan, with a baseline of a 2hr HM, 2hr 6m on a flat course for my first.

    I am training for the Niagara Women's Half in June. I did it last year, but have had issues with my cuboid so it's like starting all over again

    I'm still trying to pick my next half marathon, I just did my first long-ish run today since the L.A. Marathon last month. My goal is to get my weekend long runs back up to 12 miles so I'll be ready for whatever half I might decide upon.

    Some nice sounding races there people. I love the half, it's a great distance but reading this I realised I'm not signed up for any - I'd better get busy! Leicester marathon in October for me, 2nd time out and I want to improve on last year so a couple of half's in the run up will be good. I fancy a trail half next I reckon. Any recommendations (UK)?

    The Jingle Bell Half Marathon in Atkinson NH on Dec 12. I did two 5k's this month and on a whim I figured why not another half as I had nothing else planned in Dec. Did the Wallis Sands half in Rye NH in May of this year and a 10k in Aug. Loved both as I am getting bored with 5K's (do at least one per month).
