Ok, so I am petrified to sign up for my First Half marathon.....I have started the training...but seriously cant bring myself to register... HELP!! Why the heck am I so scared?

REGISTER!!!! I think you are afraid of commitment. ) I felt the very same way with my first half, but once I registered, I knew I HAD to do the hard work. You will be surprised at the attitude difference that registering will make. DO IT!!!! )

Maybe afraid to fail but truly there is only success! No matter how far you make or how long it takes, the important thing is you did it! Just the training is sucess, so don't be afraid, just go for it! You are a winner!

Best of Luck and let us know how you do!

Probably because once you register, you are 100% committed with no way out (other than injury!). Go for it and get signed up as otherwise you may be more encouraged to take some extra rest days when running is scheduled. Don't be scared, training is the hard part, running the 1/2 is the fun part!

I am in the same boat - training for my first half but didn't register. I am not scared of it, I just didn't do it yet. I think of it as an endurance process and like to see how much will power I have. It's all in your mind and once you will get this done, you will feel so much stronger. Do it, and finish it!

REGISTER!! I had never ran more than a mile in my life when my husband started running full marathons. He was so sure that I could do it that I listened to him and signed up for a half marathon myself. I followed Hal Higdon's program and was able to do it!! I did walk a few minutes of it, but not much at all. I am slow but wanted to just be able to say I finished. I'm so glad that he believed in me when I didn't!!

Sign up for it! You will be so glad that you did!

BTW...I keep registering for more half-marathons because it keeps me running. Otherwise, I fall off the wagon! Happy Trails!!
