Original plan was 2012 but I think I'm ready (mentally) now to tackle this challenge.

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?

Well good for you. It's definitely tough. Hope it works out and best of luck to you.

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.
