It won't be my first Half, but I have a HM in mid June. My training timeline for my first scheduled half was about the same, though I jumped in and ran one halfway through that timeline. Congrats on the first 10k finish and welcome to the insanity.

I must be a Crazy Addicted Runner. I did 4 HM's this year and 5 10km events.
Next year - The February and April events are definitely on my schedule - the rest hopefuls.
Especially The Bay of Fundy and Canada Day.

Feb 5,2017 Chilly Willy HM - Yes a mid winter HM

Feb 26,2017 Hypo-Thermic HM - A great event - the best post race Buffet of any event I have ever been to - Hosted at a Golf Course so full change-shower room and restaurant where they have the Buffet.

March ???? Haven't found one HM close by

April 18,2017 Jasper HM - Running in the rolling Hills of the Valley Bottom - great scenery and a good event.

I'm doing one early June so just a little after you! I'm a little confused about nutrition- do you just need more carbs? (I'm running 3-4 miles daily as of now)

I am recovering from a rather foot and multiple knee injuries. Doing cadence training right now since I have graduated from physical therapy. With any luck, I'll be doing a HM by May. Have not picked out a race yet though, since I am not going to force the mileage. I am up to about 15 miles per week, with my longest session being around 4 miles. So I have a ways to go.

@binderpaper You don't really need more carbs is you are following standard nutrition. The only time people really need to worry about carbs is for long endurance training and much higher mileage. Or if you are consistently eating low carbs. If you follow the standard MFP macros, you will be fine.

I just registered for my first half on May 14th! Not nearly as much time to prepare as I would like...but I'm happy just to finish really.

My first Half in Pittsburgh May 7th. Struggling with motivation and confidence. My longest run so far has been 6 miles in about 1hour. Doing a short run, medium run, and a long run each week as well as core exercises. Have had a sore outside hip. Anybody have any ideas? Also I could use any support I can get. Oh yeah the girl I was going to run with bailed on me.

Early July for me - first one in several years

finished the April 23rd a little over my previous time but for me still very acceptable 2:11. Now I have another tomorrow! This one looks better as very flat course.
