It's my very first one so I'm a little nervous - my goal is just to finish :) I hurt my knee though and haven't been able to run the past 2 days, which is driving me crazy! Isn't that the worst? Hope your ankle is better! And I'm completely impressed by your training schedule - you're going to rock your half marathon!! I signed up for that 5K too!

I used it for my last two races and love it, but did adapt it to do at least two 10 mile runs (instead of one). From experience, I need to run longer distances more than just once before the race! Best of luck and keep us posted on your training. If you ever need support during any of those 15+ mile runs, let me know and I will join you for a few miles!

Eek! Thanks Elina – that’s sorta what I was thinking too, getting to at least 12 miles before the race in September. Eek!

I'm super slow these days but maybe in a bit, we can plan something. I don't want to drag you down. :) Eve - thanks! It's definitely been a challenge! Evan - good luck with training! I think you have a good attitude about it. It's about having fun at the end of the day, right? Diana - tortillas work really great as a thin crust... and I like that you can use them in so many other ways too! Tortillas are very versatile :D Jess - most beginner plans have you run up to 12 miles or so, but I think at the end it's a personal preference. Maybe people don't even do that. The adrenaline gets you through the rest (I think). Innz - I had pizza for breakfast today!! (details to come tonight ;) ) Sophie - I think signing up is a huge step... then you kind of have to follow through. :lol: Kelly - thanks! I hope to be able to do it but I won't stress about it. My goal at the end is to finish 13.1 on May 30th! You'll be running in no time. Be patient :grin: Meghan – I’d love to do that as well.

Might as well be prepared and as long as you don't over do it, it should be okay. Those races look fun, wish I could run so we could run some of these together!

I'm sort of just going to go with the flow, up my mileage week-to-week so I'm ready, endurance-wise for the race. I'm thinking I'll aim to run close to the 13.1 miles before race day arrives so I know I can actually complete that mileage but wasn't thinking of runner any farther than that? Again, I'm a little clueless about training for races, clearly. Most I've ever run is a 5 miler...hoping to do a 10k before the half marathon though, too.
