A marathon is such a rewarding experience but it's definitely not without proper training. I followed a 16-week program that I got from marathonrookie.com. And definitely start with a half-marathon or any of the longer runs like like a 15k. The more your body and mind are prepared to endure the long distance, the better off your marathon experience will be. Good luck! Hi Megan!

I am so impressed that you not only did but finished a marathon! The post was lovely, detailing the "during" - usually I only hear about the "before" and the "after." How long did you train for the marathon? I did a 10K twice, and was super proud of myself, but wanted to die during both of them. But that was a million years ago, and I've barely run since. I've actually started with the Couch-to-5K program, and it seems to be helping me get back in my running shoes again. Maybe in a couple years I'll be ready and motivated enough to try a half marathon... I think something is wrong with my RSS reader – this post just showed up in my feed today!

Sounds like a few times people were held up by trains. I loved your comment in your mind to the people telling you that you were on the home stretch. That is so real. I also had to laugh because as you were taking off at the 24 mile marker, that was the point were I got totally pissed off that there was still two miles to go. Man I was mad. I finished in 3:33. Great job on your first/second marathon finish. Keep up the good work. Thanks for your cool race report. Good race report. Sounds like a few times people were held up by trains.
