Eek, I just signed up for a full marathon

[mrsjason]

I have been running for the last 6-8 weeks or so, with my longest runs getting up to 8 miles. Well, I just took the plunge and signed up for the Disney Marathon in January.

I have run in many, many, many half marathons over the years but never a full. It's always been something I have wanted to do, and it's always bugged me that I never have done one. So, I agreed to sign up with my mom this year. It will be her first Marathon as well.

I am a little scared, LOL. I got a big commitment of training ahead of me in these up coming months.

Way to go, Kathy! I've been running for the last 3 weeks and the most I could do in this heat is 2.5 miles. I'm hoping to do a 5k with my friend in November.

Yay! Good luck with training!

Mayette - you will definitely be ready for a 5K come November. Crap, by then you will be ready for a half marathon if you keep increasing your miles!

PS - that's my hint that you should sign up a for a half marathon

That's awesome, Kathy! I know you'll do great!

My H is thinking about signing up for that marathon too (it will also be his first), so if we end up going, I'll be sure to cheer for you, too!
