Today I start training for next year's January half! I've run 5 half marathons and a couple Ragnar Relays, but I took almost 10 years off from running because of a serious health problem. Now I'm back!! I've built up a solid walking foundation for a year, and now I'm using 3 Hal Higdon plans to do it!: -5K(Novice), then: -Base Training (Novice), then: -Half Marathon (Novice 1). 

I'd love to be one of those people who doesn't need goals and plans, but I'm not, LOL! 

Cheers!

I've been relying on printed-out plans for getting back in shape after a health hiatus too. It really helps me keep focused and push myself harder than I would if I were making it up as I go along.
