Registered for my first marathon! I promised myself that if I finished Metric standing up, and didn't feel awful the next day, I'd do it. I'm doing VA Beach Shamrock on March 22.

Hopefully, the weather holds out this winter so I can do most of my runs outside. And I'll probably need some advice on working my long runs around a planned vacation in mid-Feb., but I am confident that I can put in the effort to train.

I know a lot of people who have run Shamrock and I've heard nothing but wonderful things.

You will love it. I have done the half (+dolphin challenge) the past two years and my friends talked me into the full (+whale challenge) next year! It's such a fun race weekend.

Yay! I hadn't noticed until now that you were doing it! No, I never did the half- I was just looking for a spring marathon and stumbled on that one.

Yay! I've done the full! Good choice. A little too flat for my taste, but I'd probably be the lone complainer on that one

They have the best swag, and a great after party. We had such a good weekend when we went.
