You are definitely a beast. I'm scared about my marathon 6 mos away. And here you want to do one in such a short amount of time. I commend you. Great job!

well, my original 3rd Marathon goal was slated for October 31st of last year and I started training around April for it but I was at such a low level I never believed I had a chance to cover the distance in any way but, the training has been a bit stronger since.I followed a program from http://www.marathonrookie.com/marathon-training-programs.htmlit was a 26 week program that i was able to extend to 30 weeks to match up with my 11/30 marathon - made it pretty well for 17 or 18 weeks - the long runs were killers.What program are you following? Is this your first marathon?
