absurd, batty, berserk, bonkers, cracked, crazy, cuckoo, daft, delirious, demented, deranged, dingy, dippy, flipped out, freaked out, fruity, idiotic, insane, kooky, lunatic, mad, maniacal, mental, nuts, nutty, out of my mind, & psycho are just a few of the words you might use to describe me. & don't worry, I won't be offended, because i'm kinda wondering if i've fallen off my rocker. i kept saying i wasn't going to do it. but then carrie started enticing me with promises of a sequin running skirt. & i'm not gonna lie, i really want a turquoise running skirt. so i succumbed to the peer pressure. better live it up now, training starts next week for the surf city usa FULL marathon. 26.2 miles is a long way to run, i hope i have it in me. being a total newbie i am extremely open to any & all tips and suggestions!

You can do it! I ran a half (I know it's not the same thing, but it was huge for this asthmatic non-runner girl). The sequin running skirt should help ;-)
The sequins will help you run faster. I always run faster when I know I look good.
you wear skirts running?
Can't imagine doing something crazy like this without my friends!!
Even if our times aren't great, people will be "dazzled" by our running anyway!
Kelly, you'll have a blast. A marathon is a big commitment, but it is so worth it. You'll have such a sense of accomplishment upon crossing the finish! My recommendation (if you don't already have a planned training program) is to use the Hal Higdon training program. I've used his every time, and I always feel prepared. Another suggestion: stretch, stretch, and stretch some more to keep your muscles and tendons happy! Good luck!

I'm just plain impressed. Good luck!
Wow! You are brave. I am doing the 1/2 that day and the training is already kicking my butt. Good for you!
