Yeah... When I think about "First-Timers/Wannabes" I think of people, like me, who are coming "OTC"(off the couch :) I am finding though that there are a lot of people who run, and run respectable distances, who never even think about running a Marathon. I guess this is sorta the climbing equivilant of me jumping off the couch and trying to climb Mt. Everest or something. I'm still really excited about running... and having run. Which is the main thing. I need to SLOW DOWN though. I did my 3miler today in 26:36. While it's not blindingly fast... it's still much faster than I should be running. I know I'll hover around 9:30 min miles on the 6 miler on Sunday though. ;) tx Ed for your guidance. Trae http://occy.net/ Post a reply on the Bulletin Board | Send email reply to Trae McCombs
