So excited to find this thread!!! I'm in Week 5 of training for the National Marathon, although I haven't registered for it, yet. I'm going on vacation for 10 days in February, so I want to see how I feel after that. Is there a chance it could sell out?
I've got 16 miles planned tomorrow, but I'm nervous, since it's supposed to be so cold. (I'm in Falls Church.) I'm using a plan generated at RunnersWorld.com, based off my MCM time (first marathon!). So far, the training this time around has been great. |

ok, so I finally registered!
I am going to do the half and I need to do some serious training over the next five weeks. I don't know why I had such a slump in my motivation but now I'm on track. Committing money really helps me.
How's everyone else doing? |

| I think I am going to run the half. I live in California, but was in DC on business this week and saw the marathon advertised on TV. I have to be back there anyway the day after, so I figure I might as well come a day early and run. Looks like fun. |
| Lookin' back at my background, tryin' to figure out how I ever got here... |

| I've got my last (second) 20 miler this weekend in preparation for the marathon. Kind of nervous, as my 16 miler two weeks ago was the worst ever, following a 10 day trip to Hawaii. I didn't get to run much while on vacation and I felt it in my run when I got home. After this weekend, I have tapers of 12 and 8 miles on the weekends before National. Looking forward to it! |

how's everyone's training going?
Just checking in.... It feels funny just training for a half instead of a full. Never thought I'd say something like "I ONLY ran 14 miles on Saturday."

Things are going great for me. I lost about three weeks over the last few months due to a few colds I had. I'd really like those weeks back, but I think I should be pretty well-prepared on the 29th.
I ran the St. Patrick's Day 8K in DC last weekend and did a lot better than I thought I would, so I have some reason to be optimistic.
At any rate, it's nice to be able to get out and race again. Between December and March, races pretty much disappear around here. |

 Ha Kimmie-ONLY 14 miles. A true marathoner.
I'll be there doing the 1/2 also. I've run it twice before and am not in love with this one, but have a good time anyway. I'm coming off a lung infection and cracked ribs, so slow and steady for me.
Hope to see all there.
