My first 1/2 marathon!
Well I just signed up for the 1/2 marathon in May. I also signed up for a training group that will hopefully prepare me for the event. I am so nervous. I have never done anything like this before and I have a bad history of dropping out of things when they get too tough. I know that I can do this though and I am determined to see it though to the finish! Just wanted to know of anyone else is training for a spring marathon and where they will be running. I am training for the Fargo marathon in Fargo ND!
I think the race last year was in May due to a scheduling issue, but they start the races early enough that the heat isn't a factor.
This will be my 2nd marathon and I've done several halfs.
Advice? Just like with weight loss, there will be up and downs, just keep your eye on the overall goal and don't get too wrapped up in day to day training. You won't feel your best every day, just keep on moving!

Advice: HAVE FUN!!! Train hard, train smart, enjoy every minute of the new lease on life you have been given and use this as a milestone in your life where you saw your goal through to completion!

Lauren, your training group will provide you with the road map to get you across the finish line, just don't compare yourself to anyone else in the group. Run your own pace and enjoy every new milestone.
When I joined a training group for a 15k in 2007, I was always the last one in. Last year, I completed 3 marathons and was the trainer for the 15K class.
Congratulations on setting your goal!
