[quote=Anonymous]You feel better, but if you make it through the marathon (even walking for part as a PP said), you will feel euphoric.  (Even if just for 10 minutes before you feel hungry and sore as hell.)  The start line of a race is, for me, one of those brief moments when I feel love for humans and the amazing things we do.

As for the long runs, when it got to the 18-plus mile point, I switched from music to things I could listen to for hours.  Podcasts are a great idea (didn't really exist when I was training for my first marathon--I did books on tape).  For my second, I ran with a group, and with 2 buddies in particular.  Maybe there's a group in your area you can connect with now?

Also, if you're running every day, you don't have to.  I have trained for half and full marathons on 3-4 days per week.  I am never going to win one of these races so the training doesn't have to consume my life.  But I feel really good and proud to say that I have finished 2 marathons.  I wish you the best with yours.[/quote]
