Running a marathon is an individual sport that tests the body and mind. Training for a marathon is a team sport that requires a support system to keep on track. I am grateful for having a family that supports and encourages me along the way. The long Saturday runs not only require me to be away from my family but sometimes require logistical support to drop me off at various spots on the marathon route.
As a rookie marathoner - I also benefit from the advice of teammates and other runners that I have talked with over the past few months. The husband of our team captain is a running coach that produces a weekly email that has provided valuable information on marthon running and the Boston course.
I did a 11 mile run last Saturday and we have the last big training run (21 miles !) this Saturday. It should be interesting.
