I normally train by myself. If the Nashville Strider's have any training programs for Chicago I will probably run those. I must say I loved my first 1/2. I think that is the perfect distance, but I have to at least try a full. Mostly just to cross another thing of my life's to do list.
Looking at your workouts for Fat Loss III you maybe right, It could be too much to do that and train for the full. I am hoping to finish Strength 2 and Hyp 3 and then Strength 3 right around the same time as training starts. Then use the fat loss workouts to cut from the bulking I have done. I am not going for any time on my first Marathon. Just want to finish and have fun with it.
Here are the hills you will face. have fun and Good Luck. I heard last night that the CMM 1/2 is the 2nd largest 1/2 in the country. Right now they have over 30,000 registered for the Marathon.

Thanks so much for posting this!! I am in Nashville now and feeling okay about the hills. We'll see how it goes tomorrow! I just hope it doesn't rain.
