Hi!

Um, if you are running 25-30 miles per week, you can EASILY build up to a marathon!  Run a couple of shorter races, pick a spring 1/2 marathon at least 12 weeks out, and then go for it.

It's my first marathon, so I am not one to talk, but I have a lot of 5k, 10k, and longer races under my belt, and it's great.  AND, the absolute BEST way to get in shape post-partum.

I would be so scared to even try. I'd be 'that person' lying on the sidelines!   I am running my first race - an 8K - in 3 weeks and I am even super nervous for that.  Wimp!

Oh, stop it!  You'll be hooked.  You HAVE to let me know how it goes!
