    Got 8 weeks until my 60 miler. Holy crap, that came around quickly. I really need to get in some long runs. Haven't done anything over 12 miles since March!

    It's the Thames Path challenge, so a mix of both. Mostly gravel paths though.

    First marathon on Sept 17; feeling nervous

    Fifth marathon start on September 17, hopefully also fourth marathon finish. So, far, so good; last week was the first of 3 peak mileage weeks in my plan, and I'm feeling pretty healthy.

    San Francisco marathon, next summer! My fiancee and I are getting married July 2018 and that will be one of our honeymoon adventures! Does anyone have any training tips or personal experience stories from that run? We just started a running Instagram page to keep us inspired, accountable and a learning tool for other runners that are trying to train as well towards a health or fitness goal! Since we have started running and gained inspiration from the myfitnesspal community, we have lost over 175 pounds from healthy eating and running! It's been so amazing to see what this community has to offer and how much it has helped us reach our goals and what we have accomplished since we have started. Check it out and show us your support @butteroadrunners on Instagram :)

    Just started Week 8 of training for the Detroit Marathon on October 15. I just fit a 5k and half marathon into the plan and set a new PR for both, so it seems the training is going pretty well.

    I signed up for the 2018 Paris Marathon (April 8) today. My plan is to build my we until the end of the year, and then begin a 16-18 week training plan. I'll probably also try to run 2-3 shorter races until then, but without specific speed training or tapering. I'm hoping for < 2:50, but mostly for an injury-free build-up and race.

    I really plan on this being my one and only full ..... lol

    The one I did last spring was going to be my one and only too. Then I did another last fall and my third about two weeks ago...now I'm looking for another one to sign up for next year.

    Good luck with the training and the race.

    I did my first Half earlier this month in 2:09. Found a 20-miler and signed up for it next month. It's in Clarksburg just south of Sacremento. Barring injury i figure I should be able to cruise in under 4 hours. My goal when trying a new distance is simply to have fun and finish injury free with a snile on my face.
