Re: Marathoners!!
I'm doing my first...NYC on November 7th! I've been dealing with a shin issue for the past couple of months, so I'm gradually easing back into training. I have an 18 week schedule that I'm starting soon!

Re: Marathoners!!
I'm not doing a full, but doing the Diva Half in Oct. I will be back to hard-core training in July! I'm not too far from Philly, I may have to think about that one for next year.

my coworker said she wanted to do a marathon in 2011 for her 60th birthday (she has done many years ago, but hasn't in recent years) and I told her I would do it with her - she mentioned MCM - so I may be there 2011 as well.

lol thanks! that makes me feel good! congrats to you! it's nice to know that training for a marathon is possible (although for me a lot more challenging) after having little ones! good luck-when are you due? how many months will your baby be when you do MC? i've heard that's a great marathon!

totally doable! I have 2 dc 2 years apart and gained 60 pounds as well...DH was a big support when I needed to do long runs and I brought my running clothes to work to run immediately after work.

I'm not a marathoner but my boyfriend is and his favorite is the MCM and he's run NYC, Big Sur, Lake Placid, and a bunch of others. Enjoy it!

Re: Marathoners!!
Congrats to everyone!
I wanted to do the MCM but it's on Halloween and didn't want to take that from my son, so maybe next year. I can't wait to go to Philly and run that town! LOL.
I've just been trying to get into great shape for when I train. I've been pretty good at maintining from my last marathon, thought the longest run I've done was 8 miles.
I'm hoping it's not more difficult this time.
