so, of course... we've only hit the gym twice and my three girlfriends want to try a marathon..
its a small one, just a little over 3 miles but it sounds like a blast.. its something i could run/walk (mostly) and the party afterwards sounds fun.
anyone else been to one?
or run one?

That's not a marathon, that's a walk to the store. :rotf:
I have a co-worker who does three or four marathons a year. And then there's Dean Karnazes...

You're doing a 5K? Not a bad start.
I've done full marathons--LA (twice), Vegas, and a whole bunch of half-marathons.
My goal is to be ready to do the Durango Double this year, and hope I have the money to fly to Colorado to do it. It's a 25K or 50K trail run on Saturday followed up by a marathon on Sunday. Only problem is, when you're used to running at lower elevations like me, suddenly going up to 7000-7500 feet and doing one can be a bit of a chore.

Huzzah! You're the only other person I've met who has read it.
He was on Letterman some time last year. He also tried (and failed, I think) to break the world's record for longest distane run on a treadmill in 24 hours.

So freakin what? The guy ran BADWATER, fer Chrissakes. I can't even STAND outside in Baker in August, let alone run 135 miles in it.

I hear that--a couple of years ago I ran the Pacific Shoreline half (13.1 miles) and at the end we got coupons for free beer.
THAT, boys and girls, was an interesting day.
