A New Year-I might be crazy

So everyone is making resolutions this time of year...I decided on mine a few weeks ago. I am trying to get into shape. I worked hard last year to lose all of my baby weight (all meaning the leftover that I STILL had from Katey and Makenna!). Last summer my sister in law, Tracy, was in a triathalon in July. It was so awesome to cheer her on! She motivated me to start running...I had been walking with the girls and getting into a good routine by that point anyway and thought to myself that I really should just start running again. So long story short, I started to run again-first just a mile here and there. Once the weather turned cold I started running on my treadmill and decided to work towards running a 5K. This has been a goal of mine since Katey was a baby. On Thanksgiving Day I did it! I ran in the Turkey Trot-it was REALLY hard...running outside in the cold and having to deal with hills is much more difficult than the treadmill! But when I finished I felt SO GOOD. So I decided that my goal for 2010 is to run in the Eau Claire half marathon in May.....I am working on my endurance and plan to run in a five mile race on March 6-after that my "training" for the half marathon begins! I am terrified. Seriously, 13.1 miles is no joke and I really wonder at times if I will be able to do it...but I am going to try! So here it is, in writing, I can't back out now:)
