I did an 18 mile run this morning. Only 10 weeks until my 1st marathon! |
|
I started running again a few years ago and decided to do a marathon this spring.
Today was very tough; it's the farthest I've ever ran at one time. 3 of my friends are running the marathon with me, so I've got a good support group.
Just wondering if there are any other DUers who run marathons.

1. I ran one a few years ago. |
|
Rocket City in Huntsville, Alabama.
I went there because it was at the right time of year. Didn't know a soul when I went but met lots of great people.
I have run halfs since then but don't want to put all the time in to training for a marathon again. I might change my mind though.
I know how much you've invested in training. The hay's in the barn.
Congrats!!

The furthest I've ever run was 4 miles, and that was years ago. That's awesome that you are working toward that, and have a group of people with you. How'd you feel after your run today? Oh, and good luck!

6. I feel pretty good tonight.... |
|
...This afternoon, I was hurting. Took some Tylenol and got a back rub from my girlfriend(that helped a lot)
Thanks for your kind words. I'm so glad I started running again.
2 years ago I was up to 228 pounds; today I'm down to 190.

I'm looking into doing a local half-marathon in the fall. I don't think I'm up to a whole marathon yet.

When I stared running again 2 years ago, I could only run a half a mile, then I had to walk. I've kept at it and built up my endurance.

22 mile you start hallucinating. So if you see spiders climbing up your leg, just shake them off..
