Anyone Running in the National Marathon in March?

[Anonymous]

I completed my first half marathon earlier this month and, before I could talk myself out of it, went ahead and signed up for the National Marathon in March (this will be my first marathon). Anyone else planning on running in this race? I would love to connect with others who are going to be training for it this winter. Mutual support and encouragement will definitely be helpful on those cold winter days when a long run is scheduled! I'd love to hear thoughts about this race from anyone who has done it before. Also, marathon training tips for a first-timer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
