Q for the Veterans of MDI. I have had my eye on this marathon since it was started. I have never run a marathon before, but have run half marathons. I am getting back into running and I think this is the year I could train for this race. Is this marathon too difficult for a first timer? Thoughts are appreciated.

No marathon is too hard for a first timer if you're well trained! You can do it!!!

it is all about preparation, focus and attitude. Keep in mind that even for marathon veterans it is not about IF it will get hard but what you'll do with the fatigue WHEN it happens. If you can run 13.1 miles you can cover 26.2.
