1:55!! It was 10 minutes faster than I was hoping for (bad for only seriously starting running in May). I'm soooo pleased, and loved the experience. I have definitely been bitten by the running bug. LOVE IT! Ready for my next race

Thanks! I definitely pushed it today - but I feel good! I don't have another race lined up yet - looking online now. I want to try to do a 10k or something before it gets too cold. I'm really thinking I want to go for the full marathon, though, in the near future.
I've tried to squelch the competitive side of myself for years, but who am I kidding - I will always be competitive. I live in Boston, but wouldn't DARE run the marathon unless I qualify for it. I'm not there yet, but I just started training. That is going to be my ultimate goal - to qualify for the boston marathon, and then to actually kick it's butt!0 -

I dont think I'll seriously attempt a marathon - too much stress on my body to prepare for it
But if you do, a suggestion made to me was to make it memorable - dream up a marathon location you would like to do it in and train for it - overseas! What a fantastic motivator!! I'm in Sydney so New York or London would be big for me ...0 -

That's so funny, I was actually thinking the Kona Marathon in Hawaii It's timed perfectly with the end of the school year, and my birthday a week later - would make an awesome vacation!0
