Topic: From: Date:	Choosing a Marathon AND qualifying Sarah 9/29/08 8:47:50 AM ET
I have wanted to run a marathon for the past year but I am having trouble choosing one. I have family members who have run in the NYC ING Marathon and a friend who has done the Boston Marathon. I know with these races you have to run qualifying races or be part of a running group. Can anyone suggest a charitable organization or how to find one for a race? Also, I am a former college athlete but I have not been seriously training for a good year and a half. I want to give myself enough time to train, but also find a race that will allow me to qualify for the NYC marathon in '09. Can someone give me some advice on training but also on some races that are more accessible? I would like to find a race in the next 5-6 months. Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
