I'm not a runner but would love to "become" a runner by the time I'm 40. (Nov 2008). I'm very "goal driven" so I like the concept of the book - - small measured steps to achieve a goal. I'm aiming to the run the Nantucket / Hyannis MA race in March. I would love to do this journey with a cyber buddy - I got the book yesterday and started the preliminary training this morning (started at step #3).

I wish you all the best with the training and running of the marathon. I hope you'll stop in periodically and let me know how it's going. Hi Shelley, thanks for your comment.

No luck on the class but that really doesn't matter as I am going to train by way of the book. I just started reading and will start prelim. training this Thursday. At the age of 16, while living in California, I alway envied those who ran the Los Angeles Maraton. My hair dresser just turned me on to this book after I saw all her ribbons for various marathons she had run. So, here it is...by my 40th birthday, I will run the Dallas Marathon. It's a just over a year out but wow, what a great goal to achieve for not only a non-runner but a person who has never ran more than a block, if even that.

I've come to the conclusion that most people who are new to running love the book and most experienced runners scoff at it because they think it's advocating an easy way to finish a marathon. I wish you the best with your training and first marathon! Hi Nancy, thanks for your comment.

Found you through a post at Cool Running - I am doing the book and the training schedule!! I even call myself Non-runner Nancy after the book eventhough, once you get going, you are a runner!! You might enjoy my posts...I might be slightly ahead of you. My marathon is in 60 days, I am in week 10 or 11 of the sched. Happy to talk through any anxiety, etc about the book, but you can probably find it in my posts :) . There were some pretty negative things about the book in the message string, but I think the perspective is, take a normal person who isn't already a runner, and get them to finish a marathon in a matter of weeks. It probably wouldn't be my program for a 2nd marathon, but it is certainly the one I chose for my 1st!! The reason you do the minimum amount of prep is to do enough but not get injured. People who have more of a base could most certainly do more, but I am finding as the miles ramp up, it is plenty!! Good luck with this !!

I have also read that book as well (as well as the Women's version of it, more comedic for sure, but inspirational none the less). I find as a new runner I devour all literature on marathons even though I am not up to that distance yet! Just wanted to stop by and wish you BEST of luck on your journey:-) Have fun!
