    I am running my first 5K this weekend and I am already considering at least a half marathon. I will be more the happy to give you support, maybe it will be the motivation I need to keep me going, who knows maybe I will do a full someday. Add me if you wish.

    I am doing a half in January and plan on attempting a full in April. I am running regularly now but don't plan on starting marathon specific training until after the New Year.

    I have completed three full marathons and a lot of halfs. :happy:

    I will run two more marathons...Boston & the one to qualify for it. :wink: :wink: :wink:

    I cannot do Boston until 2014 - since it's always the 3rd Monday in April and I work for a CPA. The only excuse that might fly if I miss the final day of tax season would be calling in DEAD. And that might be questionable! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Feel free to add me

    BTW- I :heart: :heart: :heart: to run!

    I plan on *actually* training for my upcoming half in March (3/25/12).. I have previously ran 2 half's and a 10 miler but I really didn't train at all for them.. I had run no more than 6 miles in a row prior to them.. My times were sub 2:30 for the half's and I really would like to break into under two hours. I plan on following a real training schedule come January so feel free to add me! =) I also have a dream of completing a full marathon by my wedding next year (11/17/12) but we will see.. one thing at a time. I think last night's episode of BL really inspired me!!! Tough thing is, there aren't many around me. I don't have a lot of travel funds either lol

    I really recommend Hal Higdon's training schedule for the half marathon. You can usually find them for free and they are really really good! I haven't run a full mary yet--but plan to in the next year.
    Good luck to you!
