I'm planning on running the half marathon in September in Chicago. Looking for training schedule.?

I am giving birth at the end of Feb so I am assuming training can't start until some time after that. Maybe 6-8 weeks after? I really want to lose the baby weight and start enjoying running. I don't need to win the race, just complete it.
