I am trying to plan a little bit further ahead than I have been for races in 2018.

For me, races I plan to do in first half of the year are:

Mansfield HM - Saturday, 1/27/2018 - I've already been in training for this one since Thanksgiving. My first HM in over 2 decades. I've done 10 mile training runs, so I'll finish. But I doubt my time will be very good.

Arlington HM - Sunday, 4/8/2018 - Inaugural Arlington Marathon and Half Marathon. This is the one I hope to run a decent time for.

After doing these, I'll decide whether to try a full marathon again. My last full was in 1994 and I promised myself I'd never do another. We'll see.

Republic of Texas HM in February
Outlaw HM in April
Nutrabolt HM in October
Chosen HM in November
BCS HM in December

Only marathon I know I'm running is Goodwater trail marathon on the 27th. Everything else will probably be longer (spring/summer) or shorter (fall).

Only things on my calendar are Houston full and Texas Independence Relay. Depending on how Houston goes, may add a marathon in the spring.

Would like to add a couple of trail ultras this year (50 m), and maybe a 100 m in 2019. But also want to BQ first.

Goodwater trail marathon 1/27 and AggieOO's Saddleblazer marathon in February are the only races planned right now. I'd like to stay on track this year and not completely fall off the running/fitness wagon again, so I hope to add something else to the calendar for the fall, either another Spectrum run or maybe a destination run.

Oregon Winter Half in 2 weeks is all I have scheduled so far.

We are looking for a marathon for husband to do, but we haven't decided on any other races yet.

Doing (my first) HM in La Jolla California this year in April.

I run 2 to 3 times a week (3 to 4ish miles every time) plus other exercise (surfing, etc).

What's a good training program to follow or you people recommend. Not going for time as it's my first, but I see multiple things out there.

Any help appreciated and thanks.

Higdon has a number of options that are popular but the coaches here may have better advice.

I ran my first half in Dec and immediately signup for a second one because I got in at a $10 rate, so I'll be running the Tyler Half in December.

I'd be interested in doing a "fun" half in Texas if anyone has any suggestions.

Star Wars HM in April
Wine & Dine HM in November

FYI, I ran the Mansfield Heart half last year, and they totally screwed up the course, had to run past the finish line and make a 1/2 mile loop return.

have signed up for the SAGU Waxahachie 1/2 and Dallas R&R 1/2

Just imagine how 1/6 would've played out if DC hadn't had such strict gun laws.

Two people starred his post as of the time of this signature. Those 3 people are allowed to vote in the US.
