Run a half marathon

Why do you want to do this?

I love running but occasionally lose motivation. Training for a race keeps me motivated, I run more regularly and my conditioning improves when preparing for races. I regularly run 5 & 10K races and two years ago I ran my fist and only half-marathon. It was a huge rush to leave the gate with around 20,000 runners! I had a great race, however the last 4K was not a lot of fun.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

Need to focus on my form. I injured myself in my previous half-marathon and it was likely a result of running with bad form.

Need a training program, maybe a training buddy.

Need to register for the race. . . That's the easy part. :)

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

Finding a training strategy that focuses on proper form.

Zack- it is cool that you have been a runner. I HATE to run but have a goal of running a marathon to prove to myself that I can do it. How would I  begin to set up a training regime when I am not a runner and I currently feel that I hate to run? Any help would be great. I hope that your helping me could be a motivation to you to prep for your race. Thanks.
