    I'm fully crazy! I had to miss my fall Marathon this year due to a knee injury. I am not registering for a full marathon right now as I'm trying to get pregnant. I am, however, going to train for one and see wehre I'm at one or two months prior to marathon time! I have completed a few already.

    I am registering for a half for the beginning of April

    I just ran my first 1/2 marathon back in October (The BAA half to end the distance medley). I will be running another 1/2 in May as part of my training for my first Marathon this coming July. It's the PA Grand Canyon marathon (who knew they had a grand canyon).

    I hope to one day qualify for Boston but finishing one at all is the first step.

    Only half crazy here! I did my first in September. I have at least two scheduled for 2014. I want to do a full by the time I'm 40.

    I've run a few, but the half is a better distance for me and my crazy life.

    Thinking I might try a 50 Km trail ultra next year.

    Technically did a marathon last year and a half the year before only my full marathon was as part of an ironman.

    Second time I missed a place for VLM but I will keep trying.

    Got another half and ironman booked next year.

    I'm a marathoner on the inside. I've got half marathon #5 coming up in NH in Feb. I love doing 14, 15 and 16 mile long runs, but I haven't pulled the trigger and trained for a full yet. I'm a fulltime working, busy, single mom of a 4 year old that commutes for 2 hours every day. In better weather I run to or from the office with my daughter in the jogger, but I live in Boston, so it's too dark for that now. So I've been thinking of an October marathon, but I'm just not sure yet that I have the time to fully commit to training.

    Oh and I love new running friends!

    Mine is Oct 2014. I will be running my first half in Jan so that's plenty of time to prep for the full in Oct.

    I'm excited and scared and would love to have some marathon friends on MFP!!
