Good luck guys! I just started training for the Akron marathon which is in September. It will be my first one!

Stacey, that's awesome. Be careful running too high mileage without preparing for it in case of injury. It sounds like you are having fun though which is a big part of it. It hurts too bad to do if you don't like it.

Hey Guys - I live your blog. I always wanted to be an elite runner, but I was too much of a wimp. After having a child, I have learned to love to jog when I can since time is now limited. About two weeks ago, a friend of mine asked me to do a half marathon with her so we ran ten miles out of the blue (it had been a really long time since I ran that distance). I survived so I am now planning to do the Nashville half marathon in a couple of weeks. (Yikes). Good luck with the Boston Marathon. I hope to run a marathon one day...
