I didn't know you were into distance running?

I like distance running, but this will be the longest 'race' I have participated in. I did a few 1/2 marathons in college but those were for charity and were very casual - no training. Besides the two of us(trainer and I), there is only one other trainer who is committing to going. They are going to plan days for us to get together and train. I'm really excited!
