I ran Seattle last year. I'd just found out I was pregnant, and the morning sickness was no joke. It was a hilly race, and I'll likely run it again. You should train as much as you can. Follow a program and stick to it. I'll be running the Yukon Do It marathon on December 29th.... if you"'re game you should join me. It'll…

Would love to have more running friends!!

This is the training program I'm using, also Hal Higdon but the intermediate 2. http://www.halhigdon.com/training/51140/Marathon-Intermediate-2-Training-Program

Since this is your first marathon, I'd do the full three week taper. I've run many long runs with my running partner, and have run two solo 20 milers. Both are nice. I'm in my 2nd week of taper, and as tough as it is, I'm glad I started tapering when I did. Good luck.

I'm using the same program. It's very easy to follow.

I was very nauseated after my last 20 miler. I think it's because I pushed too hard and was dehydrated. After some chicken broth and crackers I was all better.

C25k is awesome. I highly recommend it. I started last summer, and will now complete my first marathon at the end of the month.

You look awesome!

That is a serious nsv!!!! You should be so proud!!! I hope to get there soon!!! Congrats!!!

Way to go!!!

That is so exciting!!! You should be proud! I started with C25k last summer, and will run my first marathon on the 31st of this month. I can honestly say that c25k changed my life. Congrats on your running--- Keep it up!!

March 31- Yakima Canyon River Marathon ( My first) June 4th- Tacoma Narrows Bridge Half Marathon July 20th-21st- Ragnar Northwest Passage October 7th- Chicago Marathon

I am not a doctor, but running is the best thing I've ever done for myself. (Other than having my son)

I would so rather run in the cold than the hot! Dress warm and with lots of layers. I also bought what we call a "ninja mask" that covers my face and head. Stay warm, and you'll have a good time.

I am so happy with my progress! I am healthy, and I can run! Life is so good.

I've often wondered how the calories calculated with ww points. You may want to talk to someone ate weight watchers about it, and make sure you were allotted the correct amout of points per day. It doesn't seem right that you would be in "starvation mode"...

LOL, I was thinking the same. I eat a whole egg every morning. It is fantastic, and only 70 calories.

Awesome! Right now I'm training for a marathon, but I heard they had marathon training programs too. It sounds really interesting! I'm thinking maybe I could get a three month membership before my next marathon in October...

I'm a fairly new runner too, and I went through the same worries about form... but I realized, too, that if it doesn't hurt I must be doing something right. In fact, at one point in training my running partners told me that I had an un-even limpy stride, what's most strange is that I didn't even notice. Eventually it…

Tully's French Roast is my fav

I started the c25k program in June. I ran my first 5k in September, and my first half marathon in October. I'm now training for a marathon for March 31st. This program completely changed my life- and it works, but you have to work it and be dedicated. ***I was never a runner before the program. :)

I did the same. I'm afraid if I have more than one, I'll get overwhelmed.

Wow! This would be a tough but incredibly rewarding goal. Imagine how great you will feel when you see the number in 20 days!

My goal is to track everything I eat. Even if I go over.

This sounds doable...I'm in. For the next 21 days I will: *write down everything I eat, even if I go over on my calories.

Hal Higdon intermediate 2 here. I just wanted to make sure to get three 20's in. I want to be prepared as possible.

Hi! I'm Tiffany, and I'm training for my first marathon in March. Training has it's ups and downs, but I love running- so it's all worth it. A friend of mine found your group, and I'm looking forward to being an active member.

Do you work out too? Maybe try working out, and getting a few hundred extra calories. 1200 would be a toughy. Try fish breaded in panko and egg substitute, grilled zuchini, 100 calorie bars, 60 calorie string cheese. These are things that I eat regularly that are wonderful and keep me on track. :)
