Default I just signed up for the Paris Marathon

I'm beyond excited, I just filled my entry form for the Paris Marathon 2012.

It's in April (15th), so plenty time for training. I'm so looking forward to it.

Thanks for letting me share.

Oh that is cool... if I had to run a marathon, I would want to do it in Paris, too!

Happy training!

Oh wow, you'll have to remember to let us know how you get on when you do it.

There's a half marathon here every year and I promise myself I'll get fit and apply but I never do lol. I'm hoping to enter for next years but it's so hard to get a place.

Oh, go for it, Gemma!

This will be my first marathon and I really hope NOT the last one. In October I'm running my first half marathon (near Bodensee in Austria/Germany) and I enjoy the training so much (particularly because there aren't any high voices demanding anything every two minutes LOL).

It's such a great feeling to make a commitment, work hard and then reach the goal, be it a marathon or a 5k. That's what I love about running.

I ran a hard hill race in Austrian Alps this summer (almost 13km long). Well, actually, I walked a lot, like the most competitors (excluding the first five guys , because it's so steep. I finished at the very end of the field, but felt like a hero.

How fabulous! I'd love to do a marathon in a more exciting place than Ohio. LOL

I'm doing one next weekend. I hope I don't die.

That's awesome! Best of luck to you. . . get in your training! I completed my 1st Marathon in May. I think that 1/2 Marathons are definitely more my style, challenging enough, but not as painful!
