I've signed both my brother and myself up for our first marathon, Grandma's in Duluth, MN....we are both very excited but nervous. I will be checking your site very often for inspiration... I ran the 25 mile Batan Death March....I can do this! Thank you for your site, the info and inspiration it gives. Debbie Hi John,

It also depends on long you have not been running. The longer you take break the longer it takes to get back in shape. I have always found that if I take two weeks off it will take four weeks or double the time to get back to good fitness. Remember to take your time getting back into it and you will get there. Good Luck, John Hi Delia,

I discovered running after I had my daughter some 28 years ago. I was up to runnig 10 miles a day and I lost 50 lbs. I now have 30 of those lbs back and am trying to get rid of them !!!!! It seems to be more painful then I remember, is this just b/c i am older now ? Hi John,

After all these years of trying to find the right site or one major site for information I have found it. You nailed it with your site and it is one of the best, well structured and written sites I have ever seen. I look forward to your newsletters and maybe meeting you one day. Keep up the great work, and your pace HAHAH. You're running in the 5's and I'm happy that I'm in the 7's.....WOW!!! Take it easy...Dennis Hey John,
