I did it!!
I signed up for the Wicked Half Marathon on 9/25 in Salem, MA!!
I think my run today must have totally gone to my head and made me believe that if I can run three miles non-stop then there is no reason I can't run 13.1...is this how it all starts, the running obsession??

Cool, Katie!
I didn't get the obsession going until much later. In fact, when I finished my 5k program, I still didn't run 3 miles straight until a few weeks later when I finally got the guts to try it. Then again, after I finished my first 10k 2 months later, I up and decided I could do a half in just 3 months!
It's all good. I never thought I would be able to run distances, but now it's my first love.

Awesome Katie! You have been bitten! Let the obsession begin!

Thanks for your motivation & good thoughts guys!
I'm planning on doing a handful of 5k's and shorter races prior to the Wicked 1/2. I haven't signed up for any other races yet, but I'm planning on signing up for a 4 miler in the middle of March and there is the Greater Hartford 1/4 Marathon (6.55m) that I'm pretty sure I'm siging up for...and I'm confident I'll be able to do it. It's at the beginning of April so I'm hoping I'll be able to get my mileage up in time for that. Does that seem realistic or am I kidding myself?
