    I would have just walked it but there we go!

    So who exactly is stopping you?!!??!!

    The MFP meanies who don't want her to get injured apparently.

    I can't wait for the conversation tomorrow...

    ''Hi friend who I said I'd raise money for a wheelchair for... You know how I was going to do that? Well random strangers off the internet told me running a marathon was hard and required training, so... I'm just gonna not bother, weathers nice today isn't it?"

    Jeepers - she doesn't need to "want to fail" here..... Plenty of people have gone from couch to marathon in a year. It's not all that rare, and it's fairly easy to find testimonials from those that have done it, blog posts, etc. So it's not a crazy goal at all, and you don't need to have mental health problems to think it's reasonable.

    But nearly all the distance runners are saying that the time frame is about six months tight. Two years would be a better goal. A year to a HALF marathon is plenty fun and easy.
