Yes–embrace Gore-Tex and other waterproof, wicking materials. Two out of my last 7 marathons poured rain. (read: 26. 2 miles of running with headlights). Train in the rain, snow and shit and come race day you don’t even notice.

I live in Portland and I run on the treadmill at my gym and when it’s not raining I run outside, sometimes I even run in the rain if it’s not too bad. It’s not that hard to train for a marathon in the Pacific NW. Well, training for the marathon is, but finding a way to do it isn’t.

well…when your last movie was “Definitley, Maybe,” you might want to continue sprinting towards the hudson river with a pair of concrete sneakers.

I can relate…

I ran the Mexican marathon once to support cross-eyed Mexican midgets… I was beating those little fuckers too… until we got to the damn hurdles… *sigh*

Beet, I’m toying with running a half marathon in Jacksonville, FL, in February for breast cancer. I found this website that will help you, no kidding. I’m on my third week and it is making running so much easier than I first thought. You should try it out…It’s called the Couch to 5K Running Plan and it’s designed for people who don’t run but want to.
