You'd want to give yourself a little more than 3 months alright. ;) I've been training for about 10 months now and I still feel unprepared. However a short run tonight should have me back to normal again. :) Thanks Chris.

I came up with the idea myself to do the marathon about two months ago... I then realised that i had just 3 months to train for it so I have put it off until next year when I'll have more time. One thing that im sure will help you is that there will be others out there running with you. Running alone isnt as easy. Best of luck with the run.

When I decided to go ahead and run it, I told as many people as I knew that I was going for it. That way the pressure was on straight away and the chances of me going off the boil were lessened as others were watching. ;) I guess that's why I posted this today, to send out yet another note to tell myself that I can't give up - now the whole world knows. :) Thanks James, it’s a hard slog alright.

It's something I've always thought about doing but never quite got around to it (now why does that sound so familiar?) The adrenalin of race day will almost certainly carry you through this and it is probably extremely common for you to feel the way you do now. Training on your own possibly has a lot to do with that and it's likely they getting through the lone training may turn out to be your biggest challenge of all. However, as with anything in life, things always fall into place and you will definitely pull this off - I have no doubt in my mind.

Sadly I'm training alone, here in Waterford. Had one friend who was interested in doing it initially but when we hit 15km he was less interested. ;) I'll keep it going as best I can anyhow.

On the day itself you'll have the buzz of the actual race to help you. Are you training with a group or following some sort of plan from runnersworld etc?
