How to run the Marine Corps Marathon
It made me
Happy. Accomplished. 
"It was a great experience. The crowd is amazing! Seeing our nations capital on foot is unreal!""
How I did it: My 3rd marathon...but I ran this one with my brother and sister...we watched our dad run the same race 20 years ago. I also overcame a nagging knee injury and getting to the finish was an accomplishment beyond words.
18 weeks of training (visit www.halhigdon.com for training programs), 3 days per week in physical therapy to overcome injury, 26.2 miles of one foot in front of the other.
Lessons & tips: You can do anything you put your mind to.
