    No lie, very addicting.

    Hi, I'm Michael....I'm a runaholic.

    I was going to mention that..how addictive it gets...my 4th will be in April..then i might try for the full!!!

    Truth! Started running in Jan of 2010 and ran my first half that October. Promised myself once I finished the half I would quit if I hated it. Couldn't do it. I've run 7 more since and I'm training for my first full marathon now. It is life changing. Huge Victory!

    nice one, welcome to the club! i'm training for a marathon this year

    I've told myself and others that I plan to do many more half marathons but not a full. I'm curious, did you decide to do a full right away or did it creep up on you?

    Awesome work.
    Running gets kind of addictive after awhile and before you know it, you'll be looking for a rack to hang all those medals.

    All our race medals in my house hang from a curtain rod in the computer area....not as classy as some decor but it's fun to look at. :)
