After my experiences yesterday, I am aiming to run the London marathon. Not yet, its to be a long term goal aiming to complete by the time I am 40.

First stop a couple of half marathons I think.

Good luck Betty.

Good luck Betty!
I just ran my first half marathon yesterday!

Getting the medal and the shirt is exciting, but even more is the accomplishment of finishing!

Re: Got my marathon shirt & shoes!

so do you break in your shoes before the big race or don't you have a problem with blisters or anything like that!
Good luck!!

Yes, I've been wearing my new shoes for about a week .. my marathon training guide suggests having approx 100 miles on the shoes before the marathon which is about what I will have by then. I don't usually get blisters, but just in case, I'm well stocked with body glide (great stuff if you're interested!)

THANKS FOR WISHING ME LUCK!!
