I'm also considering a marathon in March. I downloaded the training program from marathonrookie.com which is a 16 week training program. It has it's longest run at 20 miles though I'd be able to complete this training exactly at the time of a local marathon. It's $70 to enter though and just not so sure I'll be ready for that. Lets marathon train together:)

I can relate to this. Nothing more rewarding than meeting the sun as it rises, breathing the fresh morning air, and welcoming the world as it begins to wake up as you know you are taking care of your spirit, soul, and body all at the same time. So hard to portray the way one feels when running, especially at the start of a new day.

My resolution is the same this coming year as it is for the year coming to an end. Work on improving my self image, my self respect, my health, and spending less time on the internet. I've come a long way over the past year though it is a lifetime commitment which I renew every year.

That is fantastic!!! The most I've done so far is 10K. I always run on the streets or lately my treadmill. I live in a little rural neighborhood so the streets aren't so poluted here. I also use beewellmiles.com or mapmyrun.com to calculate the distance I've run. I don't know how that is with mapping trails though. If they are well established trails then I bet they would show up.

Yay for the long run. Next week is my second 6 miler ever. The first one felt so good. I've been at a 5 mile block for a while but feel that I'm finally pushing past it. I always feel like I "have to stop" but I know I can push through that and when I do....MAN IT FEELS GOOD!!! Such a sense of accomplishment. I need to push through more often lol. This week for my 5 miler I did 3.5 on the tread...

You'll do great for the marathon:) I'm a beginner runner at 43 years old. My pace is pretty much the same as yours. It's not about being fast at least to start but getting it done. Slow doesn't mean not good. I wish I would have cared about staying in shape at 24. I was very sedentary before this past year and my body is having a hard time getting the conditioning that it really needs to b...

Haha so true about the strollers. I was passed by one stroller to never see them again. Some of those people are truely dedicated. I was passed by children about 10 years old to find that they finished in about 20-25 minutes. They must have had proud parents:) I passed one little girl towards the end and she was chugging along real nicely. I checked times online and if I had on a chip I woul...
