Yes! I want to run a couple more half marathons first, but I eventually do want to run a marathon! The training, nutrition,etc...is different, but I want to take on the challenge.

You ran the Sea Wheeze - awesome! I've heard that it is a very popular race, and for good reason. If I ever go completely insane and decide to do a half marathon, the Sea Wheeze will be it!

Well done! Sounds like you're on a similar timeline as me - first ever 5K Sep, 2012, planned first 1/2 marathon Sep. 2013, which bunches of 5K's, and various others in between. Must say though that the training for the 1/2 marathon is definitely much more mental than physical at this point. I'm frankly just plain bored by the end of the run and ready to be done podcasts, music and changing up the routes helps, but only so much... the thought of running for over twice as long to get up to a marathon hurts my head, not my legs... But more power to ya if you're inspired for the full marathon! Best of luck!

The SeaWheeze was so much fun! The people, the spectators, everyone there made it so much fun to be a part of!

Thanks! Running has taught me so much about myself, and how far I can push myself.
