I do run, and I go through spurts of good running for months. I wouldn’t say I like running, but I like the idea of running and I like the feeling after running. So that would be my new goal: I was going to run a marathon. I wanted a marathon that would be a good beginner’s race (aka, where not everyone running it was training to be an Olympic marathon runner), and also a fun race. Since it would also give me an excuse to go down and visit my friends, I decided on the Disney Marathon. zar1-school.narod.ru I trained for the marathon by myself, since I was at grad school in Potsdam at the time. My first piece of advice for anyone looking to run their first marathon would be this: it’s not fun to train for a marathon by yourself, in Potsdam, in the middle of winter. The marathon was in January, which meant the end of my training would take place in the snowy, freezing, bitter, dark weather. If you’ve never been to Potsdam…the winters are worse than Buffalo. It was tough to stay motivated zaovels.narod.ru
