Sorry my reply comes so late; hopefull...Hi Jaenipo! Sorry my reply comes so late; hopefully you'll still see it. To answer your question, I was not an avid runner at all before deciding to run the marathon. The day I realized I had been picked for the New York Marathon, I bought my first pair of running shoes! It was a silly gamble but thankfully, I made it. If you can already run 10k, you are very much on your way. Go ahead and sign up for a half; you'll be surprised at how do-able that actually is! Do it without putting too much pressure on yourself; you can always do the run-walk-run approach and slowly build your way up into running the whole way. And once you've run a half, you'll know if you're capable of a full one. Preparation is key but truthfully, a lot of it is in your mind! So set your mind on a goal and just go for it! Good luck and keep me posted :-)Celine | 30 Before 30https://www.blogger.com/profile/14255189150307006460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264507107093536899.post-35441966263779466832013-01-02T21:03:34.731-05:002013-01-02T21:03:34.731-05:00How inspiring!

I just came across your blog and wanted to do something like your 30 before 30 project, but I'm 33 this year, so may have to add a few more goals. ^^ Were you an avid runner before deciding on the Marathon? I'm still at 10kms and feel I need to get over the fear and at least run a half. That seems small potatoes though compared to a full! Congratulations.
