Numerous suggestions from Runner's World Magazine regarding training for a marathon.

November 25, 2007 saw the running of the Seattle Marathon. About 14,000 people participated in the marathon, half marathon, and children's marathon. Great course; excellent organization; well staffed; fine police support; user friendly. Great run. Excellent running weather (last year there was snow). You should give the Seattle a run.

BTW...your's truly "ran" the half which started 30 minutes prior to the full marathon. By the time I crossed the finish line, five of the marathoners had crossed ahead of me! Did I say I "ran???" Go Figure! :-).
