Starting over and starting new

So I think I have decided it, I think I am going to do the Dublin marathon this year!

I've been running on and off for about 18 months but not consistently. I've a good chunk of weight to lose (4 stone to a healthy BMI) so I'm thinking while I might not make it down to 12.5 stone in time for the end of October, I should hopefully be close.

I'm going to follow the Hal Higdon Novice Supreme plan. It's 30 weeks long and I'm 1 week late starting it but the mileage is very low at this point so it shouldn't be a big deal starting on week 2.

Anyone else here doing it?

Not doing it this year, but did it last year, can recommend it as an excellent race, well organised, great atmosphere!! Dublin is a beautiful place!!

Yeah I'm from Northern Ireland but I live in Dublin and it's a nice enough city
