As for me, I'm a little excited right now because tomorrow is the day I officially start my 12 weeks training plan that will get me to my first half marathon and which will be followed by 16 more weeks to get me to my first full marathon! Sure, I kept running all through winter, usually 5 times a week but now this is for real, toward a fixed objective. I'd circled that February 10th date on my calendar a while ago and there we are. Woah, these two training plans will have me running close to a thousand miles (1548 km to be exact or 962 miles) over 28 weeks with three 20 milers in July and August. It's gonna be crazy, but amazing!
If you're curious, here's the training plan I have modified to get to the half marathon. Goal pace is 4:30/km or about 7:14/mile for a finish time under 1h35min... Most training runs will happen in the morning, around 5:15 before going to work, until the runs are too long, then I'll work something out after work...
It's not all set in stone and still big chunks of the first few weeks will be done on the treadmill, but this should give me a good baseline.
