Not til January, so I have plenty of time to panic. lol.

Chevron Houston Marathon. I decided I don't want to travel for my first. Start/finish is just a few miles from home and the course runs very close as well.

If you do, we need to meet up (or maybe sometime before then since race day will probably be crazy). I think we've done a few of the same races and we've never actually met!

We really should! Probably before because the convention center is always a madhouse.

They are straight forward and will prepare you, and free online.

I used HH for my first one and it was just fine to git 'er done. Because I'm a glutton for punishment and wanted to get faster, I tweaked this plan (from clseale!): endurancesports1.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/break-4-marathon-plan.pdf
