$81.06 later as of this morning, I'm registered for my first marathon. Cape Cod, MA in Octobah. I've done a few halfs, scads of 10s, but never the full 26.2 (or any training run longer than 15 miles, for that matter).
Wicked pissah.
Now, to get to training, I guess...

Best of luck to you in your run. It kills me to do just 3 miles.
But just remember, the human heart is designed to beat "X" number of times. Why speed it up?

Respect, start training early....;)

> 26 MILES? Do they have a location about mid-way through the marathon where you can grab a cold beer and a smoke?$81.06 later as of this morning, I'm registered for my first marathon.

I could do this. 26 miles, should take no more than 6-8 days for me to cover...
Seriously, good luck to you! Just finishing that run will be quite an accomplishment!

6-8 days? Pffft. I can do it in well under a half hour.......................in the truck.> 26 MILES? Do they have a location about mid-way through the marathon where you can grab a cold beer and a smoke?

My calculations are based on running full speed for the first 100 yards, entering into a slow trot for the next 200 yards, then crawling on my hands and knees for the remaining duration of the event...

Just the word run makes me finish-line puke! In much younger days I ran close to 26 miles to get back to friendly lines!
I can barely walk now, but have finished several marathons. The first one, I used the fartlek method. Then I met Dr. Ozzie Gontang on the old rec.running newsgroup. His free advice on training, and running was the best I have ever used. I was a glassy eyed disciple. I think he offers the best free advice out there. I wrote a narrative about my first marathon on that newsgroup. Dr Oz complimented me, I was shocked.
