ran my first marathon in January at Disney. don't wanna scare you or anything, but afterwards i felt like i was hit by a car, no kidding. although i did later find out i had a stress fracture in my foot that i ran 16 miles on.
good luck and if it's your first, the feeling of accomplishment is amazing. just remember to take all the power gels, fruit, candies, gatorade, tylenol, biofreeze, etc. they offer even if you don't think you need it. trust me you will. make sure to take a disposable camera with you to capture some cool moments. i got some real cool Disney photos that i'll always remember.
i'll congratulate you now and Sunday evening. i know the training and commitment it takes to do one of these things, i tip my hat to you!

Good luck , don't get trout slapped

I would like to try a marathon one day . I need to figure out the rifgt way to train for one .

xman1102 · Post by **xman1102** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 7:34 pm

hey nitro there are several good training programs out there from beginners all the way to advanced. the best site on the net for any type of running info. is http://www.coolrunning.com/ . awesome message boards from long time runners and great training articles.
my wife and i used this book and program for our training http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... 45-4206318 . i was a casual runner and my wife never ran and we both used this book and program and both finished the Disney marathon in January. if you have some interest, take a look at this book, very realistic and practical. the biggest problem i had with the training was the time commitment for the runs. with a wife and small child it takes alot of time away from them to train, especially when you get to the long runs and when my wife and i both were training. to be honest, if you can get over the time sink you can do it. that is the only reason i'm not doing another anytime soon. the physical part wasn't the worst to be honest.
maybe DoPeY5007 can share his training experience as well, be interested in hearing. and good luck again. if i'm around the computer Sunday i'll check out how you are doing. marathon running is one of those neat things that you share that bond with others even though you don't know each other. can't wait to hear how you did. and who cares if you don't make it in under 6 hours, just completing it is something not alot of people can say they've done, much less twice!

Good luck to you sir.

It would cool if you could wear some sort of PCA logo on your shirt - unless you really wipe out, then we don't want you making the rest of us look bad....

j/k - that's a hard race and my hat's off to you!
