I think I can.....

I just found out that my online running mom group is going to get together May 1, 2011 for the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati. These women are coming from everywhere throughout the US. I would like to do the 1/2 marathon which is 13 miles. But I'm so intimidated by that distance. I mean for goodness sake I can only run 3 miles right now. So adding another 10 to that is, well, scary! So I'll set it to the back of my mind as a goal and I'll slowly up my mileage and see how it goes and decide after the first of the year if I think I can realistically do this. It's nice to have something to work for. And it's far enough away so I don't have to pressure myself either.
