Once I pass my prim as a middle distance runner this is what I want to do

I want to do this once. Just once.

Am doing my first ever half marathon in April then from there I intend to do the full marathon in the future. I am so excited that I train hard now knowing that I have a goal to achieve. Watching these vidoes, listening to personal experiences just makes me want to do it even more.

I did a half in 2011(my 1st) and boy that last mile I was done but managed to keep running. One day I'll do a full.

@1horseforever I'm also running my first marathon this fall, in Chicago. I'm 19 and am extremely excited and ready to start training. Best of luck to you!

Awesome video-ran the Rotterdam in 1992-2:58. Suffered achilles tendonitis on and off since.
@Melopeed :( stress fracture in my 5th metatarsal. This happened on September 8th, the previous day I ran 18 miles, my longest run to date. I was in an immobilization boot (air cast) for 4 weeks. Today I ran 3 miles on a treadmill and it hurts like hell. Time put back on the air cast and hang up the running shoes for a few months. I WILL run a marathon in the Spring of 2012 and many more after that. For now, I'm lifting weights and doing serious abs work 5x/week. Not giving up!!!

Exactly one year ago I lost a precious friend of mine, It was a terrible shock and I didn't know how to react against the pain I was feeling. One day I said "Why don't you run?" and once I've started I've realized that this would have been my way to carry on, I felt immediately better. Next spring it will be my second marathon, and I'll run not only for me, but also for who's looking at me from the sky....
