Registration is now open for the Ottawa Marathon (May 26, 2013) and there's a limit of 5500 runners for the full marathon.

Well, there's only room for 5,499 now - I'm registered; now the fun begins!

    You're already in good shape so you just need to ramp up the miles some ro build marathon specific endurance. I think you'll find that all your other activities will improve in the process. It'll be great.

    If by win you mean crawl across the finish line on my hands and knees moments before they pack up and go home, yup I'll win! :laugh:

    I've got to admit I was a little nervous clicking the "pay now" button for the on-line registration but now that the commitment has been made I'm looking forward to it.

    No, insanity is when you keep doing the same thing over and over again with the same results. Yup. Sixth marathon coming up. AND thinking about what ones to sign up for in 2013. Now THAT's insane.

    Just wait till next week. Last week of the taper. I'll be a looney toon. Probably Daffy Duck.

    LOL....so true!

    I just did marathon #6 on Sunday and I'm already planning a couple (or 3 even?) more in 2013. My husband told me that I have totally lost my mind.

    Congratulations! Enjoy the journey to the finish line. I just completed my first marathon and it was one of my greatest accomplishments. So, if I can do it , a 47 year old, former smoker, with only 2 years of running experience, anyone can.

    I look forward to hearing how you do!
