Just registered for PF Chang Marathon training program!!!

EEEK!!!

I start tomorrow, 6am. It is through www.1stmarathon.com. Has anyone trained with them? You get training schedules, long runs with a group, a email coach, etc.

Not sure if I want to do the full marathon---I've always kinda thought that was body pounding---but who knows? The running bug might bite me. If not, I'll only be doing the half marathon, but either is exciting!! And more importantly, it will get me out and more social, get me in shape, and blow off some steam!

It is a healthy alternative to getting drunk, LOL!!!!

WISH ME LUCK!

GOOD LUCK!

That training program sounds a lot like the training program we had for Team In Training. It was awesome! I can't say enough good things about having a coach to motivate you, and a group to do long runs with. I don't think I could've done a marathon without it.

Which marathon are you going to do? ETA - I see now that it's for the Rock N Roll Marathon - duh! That's supposed to be a fun one - enjoy it!

Training groups are so much fun and a fantastic way to meet GREAT people!! I highly recommend if you can get your hands on a group! Incredible resource for training information, great way to make your runs safe...you'll be running in a group and even if the group spreads out (our groups of 200+ do spread out) you know there is someone (coaches) expecting you back and they know where to look for you.

Money well spent!!! The social aspect alone is well worth it!

I ran this last January. It was my first full marathon. You will have a great time no matter which race you choose. It is very well organized and there is great crowd support. You are being very wise in using a training group. Good luck to you and have fun!!!

I'll be doing my second marathon this Dec. 2nd in Las Vegas! There is a bunch of gals from the Cheetah (runners) check in who will be coming out there for this race also(there is also a half marathon)... should be a blast!
