    Hello! Mine first is on May 6th. It needs to stop precipitating on the weekends though... that's the only time I have enough time during the daylight to do my longer runs... grrr... come on longer days! :)

    I scheduled my first HM October 2012 (The Detroit Free Press). I have been training pretty regularly (even if it is 8 months away). I am able to run 9 miles so far then I hit the wall. I would like to start "experimenting" with gels, beans, etc. if anyone has any suggestions. My concern is running over the Ambassador Bridge to Canada and coming back through the tunnel. I hear the incline is pretty tough. Anyone else ever run this one?

    My first ever half marathon is February 26th in Disney! Less than 2 months to go!

    That is great. I always see the ads in Runners World. Would love to do it. Please keep me posted on how it was. Do you live there or just going to do the HM?

    My 1st Half Marathon is on Sept 2nd. I'm doing the Disneyland Half Marathon. I'm also planning on doing the Wine & Dine at Disney World in November. I want the coast-to-coast medal :)

    So, I'll have my first 2 half marathons by end of year!!! Very excited. Depending on how it goes, I may aim to do a full in January 2013....! But want to see how training goes first.

    My first half is on April 14th. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as the longest mileage I've run to date is 9 miles! O_o

    Nice!! I'm sure you'll do great if you're already up to 9 miles! My training plan only has me running up to 10 miles before the race where you never actually train the whole distance.

    BTW - I LOVE your profile pic. Especially since I went running yesterday (7 miles... mine is May 6) and my feet DO hurt today! :)

    My oldest daughter and I are doing the Rock n' Roll Half-Marathon in Los Angeles on October 28th. We've got a while, but since this is our first we think we'll need the time. We are both fairly new to running. =)

    My first HM is May 5th. I slacked off on my training runs during vacation last month and am about 3 weeks behind now. :embarassed: I am running a quarter marathon this weekend, fingers crossed.

    My first half will be on May 12th but I've been getting a little behind on my longer runs. Really excited and nervous as of last week, I've run up to 8.5 miles.

    My first half was this past Sunday in VA Beach (The Shamrock). I have trained really hard and ran the whole 13.1 miles. Official time was 2:33:14 :) My next half is May 20th in Fredericksburg VA (Marine half) and then I am doing the Richmond Va half on Nov 10th. Yes..I am addicted to longer distance :)

    Sorry!! I never saw this until now! Anyway, the race was awesome!! SO much fun. Disney knows how to put on a good show. I do not live there, I actually live in CT, but I vacation in Disney all the time. They have characters located throughout the course and you can stop and take pics along the way. A lot of people don't run this race for time, but for all the photo ops. I finished in 2 hours 25 minutes, but I did not stop for pics.
