How I did it: Personally, I had been running fairly consistently for about 2 years before I tackled my first full marathon. Prior to that, I had run a good handful of 5k's and 10k's, mixed in there with 3 half-marathons. I trained really hard for at least 3 months.Once I finished, it was most exhilirating feeling that I ever had. This was even more true after I finished my second marathon, just 3 weeks later. Read how I did it…

I bought the books about a month ago. I’m about 200 pages into Quicksilver.
This is cited as the second most influential book for a lot of people, besides the Bible. Well worth the read…so good I’m going to read it again.
