Hello everyone! I am a brand new runner (meaning I started running...yesterday) and I have decided that I want to run a marathon. Perhaps not this year, although that would be amazing and is kind of what I am aiming for. We'll see if I can get into the beat of things over the next couple of months though.
I am looking for any advice anyone has in regards to just starting out as a runner. I am physically active, and young and healthy, and I have all the gear for hiking and camping and whatnot - but know nothing about how to go about this running thing.
I've been doing research on the Internet and I've read a book or two, but I am really looking for a real person to help me, to get the right shoes for example. A running mentor?
I am serious about this, so I want to do it right and not get hurt, and ultimately run the MDI Marathon.
Thanks very much!
