I've clearly lost my mind.

I signed up for the ING Hartford Marathon. Saturday October 11, 2008. My only goal, other than to simply finish, is to beat Katie Holmes' time. I've been in a rut lately - mentally, physically, and emotionally. While this will be 90% physical, the other two will definitely come into play. So that's what's happening. It will be a long sweaty summer.

First marathon?

Don't be overwhelmed by the training. It's actually fairly easy, just time-consuming.

and 5 1/2 hours is about 12 min/mile pace, very easy to beat.

Good luck!

Having just run my first marathon, don't set a time goal. To finish is sufficient. It took me nearly 6 hours, battling injury, fatigue and asthma. Admittedly, that was Big Sur, which is one of the hilliest/toughest courses. But I would just have a goal to finish. You don't know what's going to happen.
