Yes! Running a half marathon in April and signing up for the Honolulu marathon. It is going to kick my butt into gear to finally lose this baby weight! I used to run the marathon every year but this year I have a goal time. I promised myself i would stop marathons once I hit my goal time (im not a very fast runner)

I would love to run another half this year. I'm getting a treadmill soon so I can keep running during my pregnancy and pp (since I can't run with an infant). I think I could probably do one next November since I'm due in August.

I was signed up for a half this month, trained for it for months and then had the flu the week of the race! I did run a half in September and it was okay. I could have trained longer.

I've done 2 fulls and 2 halfs in the past....I would love to do another half in the fall and train over the summer but it's hard with 2 kids! I definitely don't have the time to devote to a full marathon, but I'm hoping to get back at it and lose the last of this baby weight by signing up for a 1/2

I'm considering a half marathon in 2016. I prefer spring summer fall running though so I'd rather do one in the summer or fall so I can sit the winter out.

@ldh112: for long run motivation when you are flying solo I recommend a good book on tape. A few years ago while training for my first full, I would listen to Gone Girl on my 20 milers and it made a HUGE difference. I have also recruited friends to run parts of the long run days. For example if I had to do 18, I may run to a friends house and then do 6 with her, so it cut down on the total time I was running alone.

I'll be doing a full marathon in April, a 50k in May, a 12 hour race in September (goal is 50 miles!) And a full marathon in either later September or late October if the New York City Marathon lets me in!
After that we're TTC, and I'll be going back to half marathons for many, many years.

@mamabolt: same for me! I've done the Hershey half marathon and that was lots of fun but I think October might be too soon. My only concern about a November half is how cold it gets (I'm a big wuss!).

I've been ttc or pregnant for the past 5 years, but I really hope to do the Disney food and wine festival half marathon...hopefully 2017!

I am hoping to be ready to run a half this year. I got plantar fasciitis while pregnant with LO so I have to take my time building mileage. I'm currently pursuing the 10k distance

@ldh112: most years I do a half, I think once a year the last 5 years except skip the year my son was born. New baby due in June so I may go for a race length I've never done before like a 10k or 15k, just so I don't feel "slow."
I did. Marathon one of the years I didn't do a half so that covers the last 7 years.
I should definitely make a running goal for 2016, great idea!
