NTR, Just Got Accepted to Run the NYC Marathon!!!
Sorry, just really stoked...

It's been a dream of mine. My dad has run 5 marathons, I just want to run at least 1. This is my first...have done several half-marathons with a best time of 1:29:51 here in Memphis last year (96th out of 5800).

Congratulations! With your half- time, you should have no problem.

congrats Thomas. I wish I had the drive to run half as much as is necessary to do what you are doing.

Amazing. Congrats, Running a marathon has to be one of the most challenging athletic endeavors there is. I'm running a 5k next week, and to think that after I finish, I would need to run seven more to be close to a marathon is mind boggling.

Just pretend you are being chased. Hell, it's New York so you probably are.

I usually pick out the cutest girl (who seems to be faster than me based on her corral) and just try and keep up...

That is great! Just finish the first one don't worry about your time. I have a friend that ran her 16th marathon last weekend (San Diego). She's addicted to indorfins.
Oh, and she would be a good one to follow 03-wink .

I don't think I could even run to the mailbox and back without oxygen.

For you folks trying to lose weight, I was 234 lbs. 3 years ago...gained a whole bunch of weight after high school and during college. Just decided one day to start running (with the encouragement of a friend), ran around 2 miles that first day and now I'm hooked...bit of a freak...roughly 6-10 miles, 4 days a week.

It's mind over matter my friends...and will power!

I was HUGE almost 5 years ago now and had bypass surgery but I'm deathly allergic to exercise.03-lmfao so I decided to just mostly eat really healthy and of course I never stop moving now (some of that is my coffee/caffene addiction). I really don't see how you runners run when it's this hot and humid. I can barely freakin breath.

I'm gonna do the St Jude half-marathon this year. I cant imagine doing a full 26.2 mile marathon. After I do a couple half's I want to do some mini triathlons.
