I've been running only for a couple months now. I've always wanted to run a marathon, but never really gave it a lot of thought. A marathon is my long term goal for now. I know I have a looooong way to go, and I'm starting with my first 5k next month. I'm not going to go from a 5k to marathon either. I've already been looking at other longer races for future reference. Now I know it isn't the same for everyone, and there is nothing wrong with that, but my question is: how long from the time you started running, till your first marathon? Just curious.

Now that I'm 37, I'm considering a marathon late this year or next. Or whenever.

You know...I hear some really cool people are running Milwaukee as their first this Oct... I'm guessing the beer will flow at the end of that race, too.
If I run one this year, it will be either Huntsville's Rocket City in December, or The Monkey if I'm feeling really crazy stupid well-trained.
