I am playing with the idea of running my first marathon this fall. Wanna train and run the Philadelphia Marathon with me?

Sure,..if you don't mind a time of 4-5 hours!

Well, I was shooting for more like a 3:30, but we could atleast meet there and start together.

Who knows, maybe by then I could do a 3:30! We'll see how I fare at the Myrtle Beach Half in February!

How long have you been running?Since like 1998... and it was painful when I started...

Do you run competitively or just for health? Mostly just health... I will occationally run in races and I have done a marathon (an likely will again... lately I've been naughty...

What is your favorite distance? I enjoy 6-10 miles the best... or 1-1.5 hrs...

How many miles a week do you average? I've only done one 5 mile race this month... but its just sooo cold...

What shoes do you run in? Asics GT 2XXX series... I think I've got a couple of pair of 2090s... I love the shoes but I often can't get them in my size locally, as I have short wide feet... (I wear 8EEs)

Personal best time in a race? Since no distance was specified my marathon PB (only so far) was 3:29:01

Do you belong to a running club? No but I used to juggle while running (to help occupy myself...)

Do you train with a heart rate monitor? I did when I was marathon training... I also have this neat Garmin GPS thing that's loads of fun...

What is your next goal as a runner that you feel you're capable of achieving? I want to get my dog in marathon shape so she can run one w/me too...

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

I love to run. Love the way I feel during/after a run. But I'm not a serious runner. Only run like 3 miles a day. But may do the L.A. Marathon next year. Don't care about my time, will run and walk, just want to finish, just cuz it's on my to do list
