You not only had to schedule your runs around a baby and a husband but also had to do them outside in January, February and March in Chicago? You are my new hero! I plan on doing most of my training on the treadmill at the gym until the final few weeks, weather permitting.<br /><br />I used Map My Run last summer and had a lot of the same problems you had with Runkeeper. So frustrating! It looks like we live roughly in the same area - I'm 4 blocks north of Wrigley. I love running along the lakefront but also started running through Lincoln Park last fall (I had to take the bus there, though, because it's too far to run to!)Kristinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226678688309978726.post-23602561047611619222011-01-18T16:05:28.083-06:002011-01-18T16:05:28.083-06:00Kristina - Last year I did the Shuffle after train...Kristina - Last year I did the Shuffle after training for a 1/2 marathon, so training was a bit different ... but the year prior I did follow the Hal Higdon plan starting at 2 miles. If you search back in my blog to 2009 in Jan or so I prob talk about it. I had no problems running the 5 miles for the Shuffle and am 99% sure it was the first 5 miler I had done in over a year or so!!!lifestudenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021707900438487888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226678688309978726.post-9594715284731605122011-01-18T14:36:34.949-06:002011-01-18T14:36:34.949-06:00I'm also doing the Shuffle this year. I'm ...I'm also doing the Shuffle this year. I'm a first timer - I just started running last summer and have only done two 5k's since then. I'll also be following Hal Higdon's 8k plan. Did you follow that plan last year? I was looking at it yesterday and was a little concerned that there was only one 5mile run and a few four mile runs. I'm pretty comfortable doing 2 to 2-1/2 miles right now but I'm worried about being able to complete 5 miles with that plan. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!Kristinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226678688309978726.post-77092396242410161752011-01-04T19:42:08.120-06:002011-01-04T19:42:08.120-06:00looks like a good plan. core work is always a goo...looks like a good plan. core work is always a good idea babies or not ;) I think I'm staying away from the shuffle this year it's just too much for me!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06757049962850570389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226678688309978726.post-43581985865622620102011-01-03T09:12:12.639-06:002011-01-03T09:12:12.639-06:00I'll totally race with you in April-also, you ...I'll totally race with you in April-also, you might want to consider doing a little yoga with your sister in the coming months...JScribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440386855086304499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226678688309978726.post-86195210176960848012011-01-03T03:24:05.493-06:002011-01-03T03:24:05.493-06:00looks like a great plan! that race always sounds ...looks like a great plan! that race always sounds like a fun one :)Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418163097675963683noreply@blogger.com
