Anyone Running the Denver 1/2 Marathon - 10/18/09?

My name is Nicole and I am returning to running and am determined to run the 1/2 Marathon and was hoping to find someone else running the 1/2 for motivation as the training gets harder and the runs longer!

Good Luck with your training!  I am training for the Victoria Marathon on October 11th.  Like you I would love to find someone else who is doing the distances as there are times when I could use some outside motivation for those long runs.  What distant are you at in your training?

Good luck with yours as well!

I am at 4 miles twice during the week and 7 miles on weekends.

How about you?

Right now I am at 5 miles three times a week and every second weekend I am doing anywhere from 9 to 13 miles.  On the opposite weekends I am increasing, next weekend I am up to 21 miles. 

The marathon seems to be coming up fast!  I am not feeling ready for it. 

I am following a training plan and sometimes I feel like I am ready, but then some days i have those bad runs and I wonder what on earth I am thinking. 

I do wish I would have started training sooner that is for sure - I wasn't even running more than 2 miles twice a week when I started trianing for this - although I am really proud of what I have accomplished, but at the same time I get kind of freaked out that I won't be ready for it too...

Well, let's hope we can just be motivating and just do it!  Great job on your mileage by the way!!  I can't even fathom when I hit my 10 mile weekend...
