I have a couple friends who have never run a marathon, but think they want to do so. Knowing I've completed a few marathons in the past they've enlisted me to train them. On one hand, I find this humorous given my blazing 12 minute per mile pace, but on the other, I'm happy to help want to be runners (they've never really run any distance, but have been involved in other exercise endeavors) and I do know what needs to be done to get ready for covering 26.2 miles. I'm also happy to have the accountability and external motivation to keep me running regularly. We get together to run each Saturday morning. Last week we covered 7 miles and yesterday put in an easy 5. It has been a few years since I've done a whole marathon. I think it's time for another.
