A Different Training Program & A Different Marathon

Hey, I found this at Nike+. It's a 12-week beginner program to train for the half marathon. I think it looks potentially better than the one I selected before. Course we're now 11 weeks away (10 in Boise), so we'd have to start on week 2 (3).

BTW Nike+ has their own (women's) half marathon. They're having it on October 21st. It raises money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma society. If you know someone who wants to train with us, but can't attend the Marathons we're looking at, this could be another option.

Does anyone want to do the relay for the Denver marathon? I think that one of the legs of the relay is a more realistic goal for me. Anybody?
1st Leg: 6.0 mi.
2nd Leg: 3.8 mi.
3rd Leg: 9.3 mi.
4th Leg: 7.1 mi.

Great idea! Is there a minimum speed you have to run/walk?

Hmmm, I just checked their website and you can only run the full and walk the half. The min. pace for the marathon is 13:44/mile while the half-marathon is 18:19/mile.

Let me just keep training and think about it. I'll see how things go on the 6 mile training day.
