Has anyone here run a marathon before? Yesterday I signed up to run the Disney Marathon in January. This will be my first one...I have run two 1/2's before.

Any words of wisdom? How crazy/stupid am I? My ultimate goal would be to qualify for Boston...but don't think I can get to that point quite yet.

a marathon is 27 miles right? I can go 27 yards without breathing heavy, does that work?

I'll have to go up there and cheer you on, or toss you a water bottle... or point and laugh if you trip. :dance:

in High School my friend trained up for the Portland Marathon. He was in good shape and ran into running shape. Later told me after running that beast his body wasn't the same for over a year. Just be prepared. Not natural for us to run that far (unless, as Scrappy says, you have a large fury creature chasing you)
