Congrats on your first half! What an amazing time too!! I ran my first half this year as well and couldn't walk for 3 days! lol Although I think I'm in the best shape of my life to do a full, I just can't pull the trigger! Wishing you the best in '14 with your full!!

Well said @marycmeadows. You just have to make it a habit. I have a schedule that I stick to. Some days are definitely harder than others. Another thing that keeps me going is it really helps me control my weight gain. Just keep working at it.

I second the Couch to 5K. It's an awesome program! You can google it or let me know if you need help finding it. If you decide to do it, remember work at your own pace.
