Who else is planning on doing this ? I would like to put in enough training AND stay relatively free.

Started training a couple of weeks ago.... using Jeff Galloway training plan, as I have weak ankles and just a little walking goes a long way to preventing strains, not to mention recovery.

I might.  I keep thinking we are going to get pregnant but we haven't yet so it will depend on what happens with that.  Smile

I'm still freaked out about this one.  I did it two years ago and it was around 25-degrees.  Halfway through I hear a crunching sound and can't figure out what it is.  Until I look down and realize that the sweat on my shirt had frozen and the crunching sound was cracking sweat-ice.

That's not right.  So very not right.

I am thinking about it. Just ran my first full (NC Marathon in High Point) in May and want to do another this year. Thinking of this one so I can train on the course. Cant seem to find anyone else interest because of the weather factor.

Thinking about doing the half marathon.  Never done a half mary before.  How is that Jeff Galloway program working out?  Just heard about it recently and am thinking about trying it for the half marathon training.

If you just want to finish, or it's your first mary/half mary, or you are prone to injury, I think it's perfect. I doubt seriously if I have enough of a running base to be training for this so the JG program is realistically the best shot I have of finishing a full.

I used it to finish a half mary in 2007 and it worked great. I have chronically weak ankles so it really helped. That half mary was extremely hilly, with more climbing than the Thundedr Road full, and I was slow but finishing was a piece of cake.

Good luck !
