I ran my first at 46 (one month short of 47); I've done two since, and plan for at least one more this year. (I'll be 51 in July.) As others have mentioned, you have enough of a base to do this. By the way, has anyone seen recent news reports about this man in England who's planning to run his first marathon (London) at age 101? Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
