Training for my first half in January. I'm able to run around 5-6 miles now, and it boggles my mind that I'll be running THIRTEEN in just 5 months. .-= josie´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/35AndShrinking/~3/fX5pdyzovE4/" rel="nofollow">Week 45 – Weigh-In and a Confession</a> =-.

LOL well not for this lass anyway. But I'm slooooow. I like a good chunk of time to be extra sure. I must agree though, it seems like they are all the rage right now. Everyone I know, virtually and in real life are on the band wagon. .-= Rita @ The Giggly Bits´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheGigglyBits/~3/fWEi3AD4DOI/" rel="nofollow">Five Common Running Injuries and Ailments</a> =-.

As you say, it's still quite the accomplishment, but not nearly as much stress on your body as a full. I've got my first 1/2 marathon coming up in just 2 weeks, and I'm also registered for the Rock 'n' Roll 1/2 marathon in Las Vegas in December (registration was <b>$145</b> for that one!) .-= Brandon´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AHealthyDad/~3/phz_ui6VGtY/" rel="nofollow">Tree Things</a> =-.

I'll probably tackle a 10k before too long (once things cool off a bit). The only thing I’ve run thus far is a few 5k races, so I guess that’s my default favorite.
