Congrats! If you can do 5 miles now, you'll be golden for Nov. 23.

Good work!

My training is going well. I did 17.5 miles in Portland last weekend and it was great (though difficult - very hilly). I feel pretty confident about the marathon, but there's still work to be done.

You should consider the Pgh marathon in May! Lidji is doing it with me - Cunningham and Corey might do the half.

holy shit 17.5!! and with hills! your training sounds like it is going really well. congratulations :)

i didn't know they were bringing the pittsburgh marathon back. thats awesome! i would love to do it. i want to stick with the half marathon for a few races before i head to the big leagues. so pittsburgh is perfect for that!
