just dont force yourself when you feel tired.. and try to exercise yourself, eat good foods and i wishyou all the luck for the marathon

try to get ready by running a mile every couple days or take long walks. when you start running, dont run too fast or else you might pull a muscle since your muscles arnt use to running anymore.
drink lots of water. make sure you dont dehydrate or anything. try not to run too much at once or else you might hurt your knee more. you can bring a mp3 player and listen to something. keep your mind off the pain and you can probalby go longer.
as someone once said to me, "pain is temporary, pride is forever"
hope this helps, good luck on your run

Many top runners run more than 100 miles a week because their bodies have the genetic ability to withstand such abuse, but the vast majority of runners will never be able to run 100 miles a week without being injured frequently. Furthermore, running a lot of miles slowly will slow you in races. The ability to run fast in races depends more on how fast you run in practice than on how many miles you run each week. At the University of Copenhagen, Danish scientists studied experienced runners who had been running 60 miles a week at a fast pace. One group was told to cut their mileage in half to only 30 miles a week, but to run a series of around 50 to 100 yard dashes as fast as they could. The other group continued running 60 miles a week at a fast pace. Runners who ran fewer miles at a faster pace had a 7 percent improvement in their body's maximal ability to take in and use oxygen. Runners who did not increase their speed in practice did not improve, even though they ran twice as many miles. Jogging slowly reduces your chance of injury, but it won't help you to run fast. You can race only as fast as you run in practice.
However, every time you run fast, your muscles are damaged and feel sore on the next day, and it takes at least 48 hours for your muscles to heal enough to allow you to run comfortably again at a very-fast pace. After every workout in which you run very fast, take the next day off or run at a much slower pace. Most top athletes plan their workouts so they run very fast only two days a week. Try to run fast once or twice a week, never on consecutive days, and don't run fast when your legs feel heavy or hurt.
Weight training should be part of your program also. Working against resistance or lifting weights makes you faster and improves coordination in all sports that requiring strength and speed.
