Welcome everyone! Sorry I've been so bad about checking in and meeting everyone~!
I'll finally be a "double agent" after the 18th! I'm already a Marathon Maniac, but on the 18th, I will be doing my 2nd half in 2 weeks, so I'll finally be eligible to join the Half Fanatics! I like to do things backwards, I guess! LOL
Great to meet you all!

Hi All! I'm Maniac #4937 (1 star) - made a big move cross-country this summer, so I am just trying to get back into training for fall marathons. I have some weight to lose that once gone, I will hopefully run a sub-5 marathon. It's nice to meet you all!

I'm Denise, HF 1729. I moved up to Uranus in June with my 8th in 8 months. Next half is September when I run my 10th half marathon in MAUI to celebrate my 30th birthday!
No marathons for me yet, "bad knees", but I guess I'll never say never.

Absolutely Tricia! We're a bunch of crazies... and it can be addictive.... you've been warned! LOL
The half is probably the best distance to me. Full marathons are tough. Half marathons are too, but the distance seems to be pretty much perfect for me. Yet, I continue to torture myself and do marathon after marathon. I love the challenge.... the feeling of crossing the finish line. It's an addiction. Yet, and addiction I don't want help for.
Welcome to the madness.

Hi Tricia! Marathon Maniacs and Half Fanatics are groups of people who run lots and lots of marathons and half marathons. To get into the offical clubs, you have to run a certain number of halfs or fulls in a certain amount of time. Then you send an e-mail to the membership person and they give you your number. You get a really cool shirt that shows you as a member, and when you wear it to your races, the camraderie among the group members is INCREDIBLE!
Feel free to join in and you'll see first hand what the craziness of being a member of the Asylum looks like. Hopefully, we won't scare you off from joining! LOL

Hi - I'm new to this group and will be running my first 1/2 marathon in May so I'm a Half Fanatic (but not sure how or where to get a #). I'm looking forward to all the information and encouragement from those that have run the miles over the next few months!

I live in SE Minnesota. Fargo, ND is a 6 hour drive and Deadwood, SD is 10. If you're interested in Fargo and you fly we can pick you up in Minneapolis! They will be my 2nd and 3rd marathons, and my 2nd and third states. Only 7 more to get into the 50 states club! I also have this crazy plan to run Akron in OH, Wineglass in NY, and Chicago for 5 stars in the fall. Thats a Ruthenium level and seems just about right to me! (my name is Ruth). I also have a 5 moon plan for next fall...I'm totally maniac material I think, lol.

Where are you traveling from. I was looking at the website for Fargo, and it looks really interesting. That's May 19th, right? Just making sure I am looking at the right one. LOL
North Dakota is a LONG way from Georgia! It would definitely take some planning!
I couldn't get the website for Mickelson to open... weird.

I am signed up for Fargo and Mickelson trail marathons. In fact, we have room in our car and hotel if anyone wants to join me for either or both. Half or Full runners welcome!

Hi all! How cool to stumble upon this team--didn't know there was one on SP! I'm Half Fanatic #1279 as of August 2011. I didn't set out to become a Fanatic, it just sort of happened; something about that distance that struck a chord with me, and I've done seven (slow) half marathons so far this year, with one more on the horizon. Looking forward to getting to know the other MM-HFs here on SP!

Thanks for the invite.....what a GREAT idea!! I'm only 'half' crazy at the moment, #628. But there is always a chance that insanity might enter my future. Some day I'd like to do a marathon, but I'm not there yet.
I love running races (or obstacle courses...if you ran Las Vegas you know what I mean) and meeting maniacs/fanatics on the course. Now it will be even easier to combine the two (Sparkers/MM-HM's). YEAH!!!
Looking forward to meeting you all in the future!!
