I ended up running the Kansas City Half Marathon. I signed up for the full but the Kansas City heat was brutal and training dwindled. I had only ran 4 miles before this half marathon but I knew from previous races that running was mostly a mental activity.
I finished in 2:27. Not my best time which is 2:15 from Hospital Hill but the course was brutal and my legs kept asking me "What the heck are you doing?" but I survived.
I don't recommend running a long distance race without training. I was out for two days. My energy had depleted and my legs cramped but because I am in pretty good shape and workout daily I was able to recover fast and about three days later I was back to my normal workouts.
So it's true you can do whatever you put your mind to.
