I just found this but looks like nobody is posting anymore! I am running my first marathon in November. Are any of you still training?

yeah training for one at the start of october, so very near the end of my training now! Its good very well so far although i have neglected my long runs more than I should have, having not even done a 20 miler yet. but theres still time, and am confident I'll get a 20 miler in on saturday!

Good luck!!!! I'm just a baby runner - just "graduated" from the Couch to 5K program. I'm *almost* down to a sub-40 minute 5K - which must seem turtle speed to you! My first 5K is Sunday - the WTC Run to Remember. Then I'm following that up the 12th with the Komen Race for the Cure (which I'm counting as my first since I registered for it first and the one this week was more spur of the moment just to get outside since it's a flat course)!

My longer-term goal is to do the WDW Princess Half Marathon in 2012. I wasn't sure that I could get up for it by 2011 AND I'm going to Florence, Italy the week before, so even finding out that even walking I'm above the minimum pace I can't do it in 2011. But 2012, here I come!

If anyone's interested in my twitter (I talk about all kinds of things) it's @APrincessAsleep
