You should totally do it! honestly 13 miles seems intimidating...I didn't think I could do it either, but you train for it and every week you add a mile to your jogg and before you know it your endurance and strength carries you to the finish line! The key is to sign up for it, and then maybe find a running clinic that will teach and inspire you.
I'm going to sign up for the full marathon in october tonight it seems totally impossible right now...I can finish the 1/2 but then I feel like throwing up after. I know that I can do it though, I just need to get motivated and learn some techniques. Finishing is awesome! there's tonnes of people cheering for you and you really feel like you accomplished something when its all done
