    I'm training for my second full marathon on May 6th. I'll be running a half before then (March 25th)....
    Awesome!
    My mileage is low right now, I'm training for a half in May. Indianapolis 500 Festival Mini Marathon.
    Sounds fun. Does this include tickets to the Indianapolis 500 as well?
    I'm training for my first full marathon on May 6th - The New Jersey Marathon.
    Are you excited? nervous?
    I'm doing my first half in May!!
    I'm doing my first one in February! Where are you doing yours?
    I'm training, and beginning to taper, for the Tinkerbell Half Marathon (my 1st) at Disneyland in 2 weeks!
    That sounds like so much fun. Are you dressing up? Any fairy wings?
    That's so exciting! I want to do a half at some point this year too! I better get online and get registered so I don't back out this time.
    That is what it took for me to not back out of it. It gives you a definite goal.
    All these runners!! I will be doing my first run this year...haven't signed up yet but want to do a 5k and 10k...then work up to the big ones.
    That's a great goal. I kinda wish that I had done some shorter ones first, but I always seem to jump in with both feet.

    My first half, in May, is in Olympia, WA. Every year I watch the runners go by our house, and every year I say I really need to do this. Well this is my year, it falls on my birthday too!

    Good luck to everyone, the list of races is fantastic!!

    Wow lots of you are doing some big races. I would like to get out and just do another 5k. I am looking for one to sign up for near me.

    1/17 = 3.5mi Ran too much for my body the last two weeks, so took a couple days off.
    Besides...I have discovered that I'm actually a better solo runner. Crowds freak me out.

    Since the whole point of running is stress RELIEF...right now the only person I am competing against is me. :)

    This is me, too. The crowds, parking, etc. just aren't my thing. My goal is to do a Half this year, but on my own, like my 10k last fall.

    Jan. 17 - 4 miles
    Jan 18 - 4.9 miles (walk)
    Jan 18 - 9.25 mile (run)

    Everyone is doing great!!
