My dad has run it three times. When I was 16 he talked me into running a marathon with him.

It was awful. I am not built for running long distances... I have a lot of respect for people who are able to work hard enough to run a complete marathon non-stop, and in the times required to compete at Boston. Hope she has fun.

I'm surprised your DIL is only 36. I would have thought she would be a grandma.

I’ve always wanted to want to run a marathon.

It's not as fun as it is cracked up to be.

Archaea

Yeah, that’s the conclusion I always come to when I start to want.

It's actually a few hours of fun and 3-4 hours of pain for most

Reminds me of a joke; it goes like this... Question: How do you know when someone runs marathons?

Str8CashCougar

Boston was a big goal of mine

Bill

Were your achilles and knee injuries while training or doing something else?

Injuries always seemed to forestall my qualification as well.
