Since no one started the next challenge, I took the liberty...

Since I actually just signed up for my first half-marathon (on May 18), I'm hoping you guys can help me push my distance.

I went ahead and made the challenge for two months this time. I figure it's spring in the northern hemisphere and autumn in the southern, so nobody's got the "bad weather" excuse anymore. So get running!

Shame it only starts today (i've got an 8.5 from sunday)...I didn't realize any of us pleb bozos could set up a challenge.

I'm doing a half-marathon at the start of April. Been doing the coolrunning beginner training schedule as closely as possible. You've got ten weeks, might want to use a schedule as a rough guideline, and just cut out a week or two.

I'm already using it, I think. I actually started in January, and I'm stretching it out by repeating some weeks. So really I'm like halfway along already.

Ahh, the competition in this challenge seems much less insane.

Good luck on the half. I registered for my first full, Vancouver on May 4th and I seriously wouldn't have done it without the MeFi challenge to provide the spark.
