Who knew marathon training was this easy?!
Well it's not when the neighbor's dog barks all night long and they don't answer your 4 phone calls! I'm so tired I can hardly walk around or think straight! Good thing I only have 5 miles on my run plate tonight.
Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done.
Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
Imminent Catastrophe
Salmon Marathon in Salmon, Idaho. Looks pretty. Then Fox Valley in Illinois. They are both road marathons. Regarding my training, I have a pretty good base, I didn't mean to imply that I only trained three weeks for a marathon, but that the last three have been pretty intense.

"The most common question from potential entrants is 'I do not know if I can do this' to which I usually answer, 'that's the whole point'.--Paul Charteris, Tarawera Ultramarathon RD.
