How goes it? Awesomely or not so much?

Bonus: best running experience this summer (winter if you're on the southern hemisphere)?

It goes well! On week three of training for a half-marathon, and as it is winter here, it is perfect weather for running. I am dreading going back to the northern hemisphere, where it will be disgustingly hot and I will melt into a puddle.

Good luck with your training :) !

Thanks! I'm using this Novice 2 schedule, and it's working out nicely. Having built in rests and distances makes it easier to stick with the program.

All programs I've seen are too ambitious and rigid for me and make me depressed - I was doing quite well with my own made-up program, until I twisted my ankle. Should piece something together again, because I definitely do need to be somewhat systematic if I want to train for longer distances.

Glad to hear your half-marathon training is going well! And I am jealous of your weather.

I just signed up for my first half-marathon, but it's not until Nov 10th. So I am plotting out a training schedule that I will start in a few weeks. Right now I'm just running whenever it isn't too hot.
