in Getting Started
So... 3 days ago, I decided that enough was enough, and that the one activity I have tried to put off for so long has to be conquered before I turned 25...

I officially signed up to run my first marathon!!!

However, to shake things up even more, I have challenged myself further and opted to sign up to run 2 international marathons in the space of 7 days. So... On 24th May I will be running the Copenhagen Marathon before flying back to Scotland to run the Edinburgh Marathon on the 31st May!!

    Thanks very much everybody! Would be great to hear any tips on running/weight loss that you guys have for me! I'm going to need motivation over the next 4 months!

    Those are quite ambitious goals! Good luck and good for you! I really have no advice, sorry. I'm strictly a speed / incline walker and my main source of exercise is lifting, but I DO admire anyone who can run marathons. Hope you stay active here and keep us posted! (oh, and you may get more responses and activity on the Fitness/Exercise board)
