Training's started late! Lots of track work and threshold runs, but I'm only going to get two long-enough runs in before May 17. Darn race schedule!

Hey everyone! For those of you training for the Blue Nose Half - it's 5 weeks until race day!!!! How's training going??

Pretty much my own creation - with the runner's world smart coach as a starting point. I've got a weekly tempo run, hills, intervals (starting in a couple of weeks) and a long run in there. I just run 4x per week and focus more on quality runs than lots of miles. Probably cause I'm still a sprinter at heart deep down!

Finally registered for Blue Nose - Paula - what's the 10 week schedule you're following?

Faxed my entry for the Blue Nose. It's official! But I won't officially start my training for that race for a couple of weeks. I've decided on doing a 10 week training plan. Still in maintenance mode right now. Can't wait for clear roads. It's going to be cold for a long while but I'd just be happy to see bare pavement! Not long for that. Today sure was beautiful!

My Goal is to do the 1/2 Marathon this May in Halifax. Have ran this distance a few times in the last 6 months, but not in an official race.

My goal is to come in at 1:55 in the Bluenose. It'll be my third 1/2, having just started running 1 1/2 yrs ago.

My goal is to beat (or at least keep up with) my wife. See Paula below.

I'd like to do the Bluenose in a sub 1:40.
