I just finished my 4th half marathon on Saturday. I didn't quite hit my goal time, but did PR. So I'm happy! I finished in 2:00:36 ( you can probably guess what my goal time was!) but I did manage to PR by 2 minutes. So what did I do to celebrate?? I just registered for my first full. It will be in October. By then it will be about my 2 year anniversary of running. I'm really nervous, but I love a good challenge. Honestly my constant challenging of myself (to get faster, go longer) is what has kept me running. I love setting goals and reaching them. Running was not something I did...I was not an athletic child, actually barely finished the mile in enough time to pass P.E. in high school. I never ran...and here I am about to run a full...well after 4 halfs, 1 ten miler, 2 10Ks,a 5 miler and countless 5ks in the last 18 months!!

I was so nervous clicking that final button when registering for my first marathon! While marathon training was grueling at times, just getting over the mental hurdle of signing myself up was one of the hardest parts - so just think, you've already accomplished that! Congrats on your decision to run a full and congrats on your recent half marathon PR :-).0

Marathon training is much tougher than actually running the marathon. Good luck with your race in October.0
