I'm working on her! Big grin

So are you planning on half or full? The best part of this is that we can do training runs together with the same end race in mind. Big grin

Isn't it harder to train for a full during the winter? That's part of my hang up. Don't know if I would be ready. Was going to wait to do full in GR next fall. Confused

I would say yes and no. I plugged Higdon's Int. 2 training plan into my calendar and realized that I'd actually be doing lower mileage for Jan. than I had planned just running regular non-marathon training runs. And the advantage is that those long 20 milers will be in the Spring...when it's still cool, but not cold. And not HOT, like training for a Fall marathon during the Summer months. I think you are smart to wait to do the full at GR, though. I don't think it's possible to wait too long to do one's first marathon, but a lot of people rush into it before their bodies are ready and that can be recipe for serious injury. Sometimes I wonder if I even did it too fast...or at least if I should have bailed when my knee issues first arose.

I know it doesnt help ya for tranining Zoom Zoom, but Hawk and another friend are registered and planning to run in that 4-4:30 range. I'm gonna ramp the mileage big time and race marathonmanleto. That should be a big laugh. Lots of fun stuff along with the girls running the half on the same course. K, I'm done arm twisting now. Wink
