Today I signed up for my first ever marathon, which isn't insanity in and of itself, until you add in the fact that although I'm in pretty good shape, I've been working lately on increasing my 5K pace, not on any type of endurance. Oh... and I only have 10 weeks to train - 2 of those weeks will be in Guatemala. The thoughts of my last 1/2 marathon remind me that it was a rather miserable race. I'll be headed out on a 12-miler this weekend just to see if I can jump into a marathon training schedule mid-way through. Now my only goal is to finish the race. I've never had any desire - EVER - to run a marathon. I'm not a runner and if you saw me run, you'd agree. I'm not sure what has inspired this insanity.

oh man, where's that marathon? it looks a lot cooler than the one I"ll be running (well walking/crawling). You'll do great, I have no doubt that you'll finish well ahead of me and 1/2 of the other marathoners out there.
go Nat! You can do it! Where is it?
