I have a question... I'm thinking about attempting a marathon in November. When I was in the army, I ran like a jackrabbit, buuut, since then EMAW has happened, KSU drinkfest, married, kids yadda yadda yadda. But, now I'm just passed the waking up all the time at night and I am feeling rested on a regular basis. So I think I'm ready. What's a good prep time for a person line me? Nonsmoker, nondrinker (for the most part) but I'm 6'7" 270 lb... so I'm a pretty big dude. I think at maximum right now I could run a 10K, but prolly no more. I've read some stuff on the interwebs, but I wanted some "real" opinions from you all. FWIW, it's the San Antonio rock 'n' roll marathon and there's music playing the entire time you are running by various live bands along the way.
Anyway, let's hear it... tia
