I have just registered for the Launceston 10km on 17 June and also the Melbourne Half Marathon on 13 October. The grand plan beyond that is the Gold Coast Marathon mid 2013. I think it is all very realistic and doable, provided there are limited injury lay-offs!
I purchased new runners, had pressure point massage and visited a podiatrist to get my achilles tendonitis sorted. It seem to have worked, the pain has decreased dramatically. I am doing my physio exercises and stretching after every run. I should probably do it in between too, but I'm not!
My training schedule for the next 5 weeks or so looks like this:
Monday - 6am Spin/boxing / 4pm PT weights
Tuesday - 6am Pump class
Wednesday - 6am run 6-7km / 4pm PT weights
Thursday - 6am swim
Friday - 6am Running group/6-7km run intervals
Saturday - 7am easy walk
Sunday - 7am long run 10-12km
My km's will ramp up the week after the Launceston 10km in training for the half marathon. I have a great on-line training plan through Asics I will follow.
Eating is a work in progress :)

You go girl! Can't wait to hear about your progress! I'm very jealous - no running for me yet. I've become the spin queen!

Thanks Terra!Make sure you go back to running when the time is right, not too soon. Spin is great to get that heart rate up.Good luck on the recovery trail. Mons
