LA Marathon

[californiacasey]

Is anyone training (or planning on training) for the LA Marathon in March ’06?

I trained for it several years ago before I hurt my knee. I’m walking mostly but I’m starting to slowly add some jogging to my miles.

Ever since I wasn’t able to participate in the Marathon (I injured my knee three weeks before the Marathon – I had gotten up to 19 miles on my long run!!!) I have wanted to try again. And, well I’ve got 7 months to train for it and lose weight in the process.

Anyone else planning on it?

Re: LA Marathon

Sounds great! Good luck to you as you build up those training miles!

For me, a marathon is a year or more down the trail (pardon the pun) .. Right now, my goal is the Disney Half Marathon at Walt Disney World this coming January. I'm already doing HM long runs on Saturdays .. I figure if I can do it now, in August, in Florida, doing it in January should be a piece of (low-carb) cake! I'm not fast, but I don't quit!

I hope to be marathon ready by 2007!!
