Take it slow and enjoy it! Training is the most grueling part of this goal, but there’s nothing like training for your first marathon. The pride you’ll feel at the start of the “race” doesn’t compare with the pride you’ll feel at the end, but the anticipation is the most exciting part.

It’s best NOT to take otc pain medication if you can help it, and definately NOT DAILY during training. Once or twice a week max…it does nasty things to the lining of the stomach. Avoid eating the same things every day if you do take ibuprophin regularly, to avoid developing food sensativities. Sounds wacky, but it happens.
