Eeeks. I just signed up for my first full marathon, the BMO Vancouver marathon in May. I am apprehensively excited. I have been running for almost exactly 1 year and in that time have gone from thinking that running 60 was going to kill me to having completed several 5 and 10K races, a 1/2 marathon and now having signed up for a full, I really cannot believe it 
Now to buckle down and get this done.
Don't have any questions or anything, just sharing my enthusiasm with fellow runners since none of my real friends understand.
If anyone else is running it as well, I'd love to be "friends" or anyone really

Congrats on signing up! I'm sure you will do awesome. I'm not doing Vancouver in the spring, but I've done a couple fulls and plan to do 1 or 2 next year as well. I'm always looking for more running friends so I'll send you a FR 0

Congrats! I'm a multiple half-marathoner, training for my first full in January. A running group I belong to ran the Vancouver last year (our first 'international race' They loved it!

I've got a May Marathon in my sights too, my second. My best advise: listen to your body. Don't ramp up your mileage too quickly and if you have to skip a run, don't freak.0

Congrats! I'm in a very similar place - started running about 14 months ago and have done 6 HM's this year (I love them!). Found out on Friday I've got a place in London through my Running Club so excited & nervous in equal measures. I'm signed up for a 12hr ultra in the summer so better crack on with my long runs lol
Hope your training goes well!0
