The catch on this race is that I impulsively signed up for it. I haven't been training for a full marathon; I had planned on doing the half, but then that filled up to capacity. So all 26.2 miles it is! I've only gotten up to 7-8 miles in training so far, so I'm really going to have to dedicate my weekends to working up to 18-20 miles. Honestly though, once you've mentally completed one of these races, the thought of the next one gets less and less daunting. You know you can do the mileage; it's just about getting your head in the right place and really committing yourself to the thrill of finishing. Paying an $80 registration fee is a pretty good incentive in making you run it, too.
