LOL - no way. This is my first. I was shaking filling out the form. I already paid the entry fee so I gotta show up. I just saw Run Fatboy Run; Simon Pegg is awesome.

But I've wanted to do this for a long time. I'm really excited and friggin scared out of my mind!

have you looked into any running clubs around the area? it's a great way to meet people and get distracted on days you don't feel like putting in the miles :-). plus you can get great tips from experienced guys. i'm excited for you! i have done a half marathon and that was enough for me! i love the atmosphere of races/fitness event! get a good plan, stick to it for the most part, and you'll do great! what a great way to challenge and strengthen yourself!

Hey thanks Fit, there are some clubs near by. I work with a guy who runs lots of marathons, he said he would help me and run with me.

I've also been checking out Runners World. I told my girls about it and they are just as excited as I am.

Did you run in high school or college?
