Just wondering what your experience was like.
I registered for my first one, which is Oct 15 (Hartford Marathon). I was training for a half marathon, but when I reached that mileage and had 12 weeks until the event, I decided to go for the full marathon instead. "They" say you only need to build up to 20 miles. I'm up to 17 with eight weeks to go. Piece of cake. I think finishing the marathon in 4:30 is a reasonable expecation given my running pace and where I am with training.
I really just started running six months ago as a way to help lose some weight (I've lost 50 pounds). I've come a long way in a short amount of time. I credit my cycling legs for that.
By the way, I have never gone through a period of constant hunger like I have while training for this. Hungry ALL. THE. TIME.
