That’s AWESOME, congrats! I’ll be in Philly for the race (to cheer Todd on — it’ll be his second full!) so I’ll be looking for you.

Hahaha, too funny! And now that I just went and stalked your blog (lol), I TOTALLY remember you! Loved your costume.

I would love to run the NYCM one day but first I am tackling my first marathon this fall in Philly. Can’t wait to follow your training. p.s. i saw you ran the Superhero half in NJ I also ran that race! So much fun. I was dressed as wolverine!

I am beyond excited. I would fully agree — I was kind of nervous about the whole “go back to the beginning” concept, but now I see just how necessary it was…sometimes your body just needs a BREAK, and plenty of time to work its way back up to those 20-mile training runs! Best of luck on your training, looking forward to following along! :-D

Happy to be back, I must say. I’m surprised by how quickly I can feel myself “bouncing back,” and I’m sure that’s how it will be for you, too!

And I am ALWAYS available to share tips on running Dopey…you know I could talk runDisney all day, every day! Anything you want to know, just ask! :-D

Agreed! I won’t put all of my eggs in one basket, so to speak, because we all know how many factors can end up affecting performance on race day! No matter what, I am BEYOND excited to run NYCM, no matter what my time is! :)

Hey, if I can do it, ANYONE can do it…taking on a bunch of half marathons will definitely make you feel prepared for that 26.2, believe me! :)

Hahaha, you’re very welcome! Sounds a lot like me. I have a giant box in the closet full of ‘em — can’t get enough!

I envy all you guys getting into marathon mode! I hope after running Wine and Dine and the A1A Half 12 weeks later, my IT bands will be able to handle a full 26 eventually. And thanks for turning me on to Bondi Bands! My headband container is now overflowing with them! <3

I’ve always wanted to do that one, hopefully someday. I’m training for marathon #4 now, and I also felt like I had to start over. My last full was in April, and while I had kept running, my highest mileage after that was 13 miles. So I decided to just start again at the beginning of training, and it’s a lot easier than I thought!
I follow Runkeeper’s training plan, it fits perfectly into my schedule. I have no doubt you’ll get that 4:30!

Smart to start with a range of goals for the race now and see where training takes you. So excited for you! I LOVE the NYC Marathon!

Welcome back to the world of running :0) I totally know how you feel about being back at the ‘beginning.’ Once I am totally recovered I’ll be in the same boat as you. In fact, if you have any recommendations for Dopey training, I would love to hear it! Best of luck in your NYCM training – I know you’re gonna rock it and get that 4:30 time!
