| Any Marathon runners? My hubby signed me up for a marathon that is this saturday! Are there any other marathon runners here at YT? My hubby is training for the NYC Marathon in November so he thought it would be fun for us to both do a 1/2 Marathon together. This will be my first (not hubby's) and I hope Im not sucking wind and praying to the pavement and actually make it to the finish line! Send good vibes that I make it all of the 13 miles!!!!

| My husband and I run (not as much as we were this summer) and my parents are big runners. They actually have a Marathon coming up this month. Good Luck! I know first hand that long distance running takes a lot of hard work and dedication! You can't just wake up one day and say I think I'll go run 13.1 or 26.2 miles today lol |

| Another marathon runner here So this will be your first 1/2 marathon? Hows' the training been going? Once you do a half marathon, it's hard not to get the itch to do a full one. Good luck on Saturday!!! Enjoy yourself and don't push it too early, or you'll pay for it in the later miles, lol

The training has been good, have really enjoyed spending the time w/my hubby. He has done a bunch of 5K, 10K and 1/2 marathon. The NYC one will be his first full marathon and I know I am not anywhere near ready for that. This marathon is sponsored by Entemann's Deserts and you run past their factory - so that should be torture smelling all of those baked goods as you run!
