  • My first half was October 2010, and I discovered the half marathon was my favorite distance, so I dedicated the next year to those. I did 5 halfs and my first full last year. I want to vary it a little more this year though.

    I did my first half October 2011..........I am now addicted!!!! I would like to do 2 if not 3 halfs in 2012, my first is in May. Training will begin mid February but until then I am just going to run 4 days a week anywhere from 3-5 miles at a time...............to get my body used to running in the cold, I am also strength training which I heard helps during halfs. Good luck on your first 1/2, you will feel so awesome when you cross the finish!!

    This is what I've got on my calendar so far...

    2 - 5Ks
    1 - 10Ks
    1 - 15Ks
    1 - HM
    1 - FM
    1 - Triathlon
    1 - Marathon Relay

    At what point does it appear obsessive?
