I was 4 months in and got moved out of state for a job (into West Virginia), didn't get to run for about 10 weeks due to the snow on the ground, and I'm dying now on relatively short runs ( If you start training my only suggestion is don’t stop.

I'm planning on running my first this year in Portland. To prepare, I'm running a 1/2 marathon this weekend on Whidbey island. Since I know you're all about goal setting, I recommend you start by registering for a half marathon to stay motivated. Jumping right into 26.2 is a big leap. Good luck on the marathon training.

Last year's Portland Marathon was my first, and it was a blast. It's amazing what your body can do with the right training. I'll be running it again this year: maybe we can high-five on the course! I love this site and I always feel glad that I live in Portland, too, for the times when you reference it. :-D Good luck with the marathon training, J.D!

Quite to the contrary, I find I consistently have leagues more willpower, energy, and motivation during high race season. It's improved all the other areas of my life substantially. You'll find that out too, when you cross the finish line. I run marathons and ultra-marathons around Oregon and find the claim “The brain has a limited amount of willpower” to be total bunk.

I've run 7 marathons. I ran 6 prior to 2001 and then took a long break before running one last year. I think I'm going to train up for the Marine Corps or Baltimore this fall. They can be a lot of fun but a team or support group is key. Congrats on training for a marathon. I’ve run 7 marathons. I ran 6 prior to 2001 and then took a long break before running one last year.

As far as the marathon, I'm thinking I need to set a goal to run one within a year. Right now I'm in the WORST shape of my life, but I have lost almost 30 pounds since Jan 15...still have another 30 to go! I need another physical goal. Very cool list of links JD!

Starting with the shorter races is great. I've done a few 5 and 10k to prep for the half. Of course after the half I'll have to do a whole one.

I've found a great way to train for a 'biggie' is to sign up for some shorter runs. So, training for a 5K can get you in shape for a 10K, etc. Plus, local runs are usually benefiting a great charity, so it's a wonderful way to 'give back' while improving your health. Can't wait to hear how it goes! And, as always, thanks for the links. Now I'll have something interesting to think about while I'm on MY lightrail commute tomorrow morning. . . . Best of luck!

I've raced the marathon as well as the 5 miler. My mom has walked the Portland marathon twice. I've been to the Portland Marathon Race Directors conference (among some other RD conferences) and they have a great staff putting on the race. The best thing about getting into doing races such as marathons, is that a lot of aspects that make you successful in running apply to everything else, especially finances. The big one for me is goals. If I don't have a goal, it's hard to be motivated to train or to save without reason. You will love the Portland Marathon! I’ve raced the marathon as well as the 5 miler.
