What's the date of it this year? I could run a half - but not a full...

PS. and by "run" I mean "survive" -- just so there's no misconceptions.. .

Awesome, good luck

I may attempt the back to the future marathon, even though it's short, the mental aspect is much more grueling. The last 1/3 of it is excruciating from what I am told.

Technically, I kinda did.
They had a combo, 5K/10K/half/full marathon here.
I ran the 5K, and then waited for them to come around again... and again... and again (4 laps) and then I ran across the finish line with a couple of my buddies to help motivate them to finish it out.

Does that count?

Date is 10/10/10 which is what swayed my decision.

I'm weird about numbers and didn't want to run it in an odd year (I know ) hence the 2012 goal.

But I think I'm ready. And mentally, I actually believe I need it.

Thanks for the well wishes. Might do a blog so I'll keep ya'll updated.
