Anybody running any of the races at IL marathon? Have you started training? I am signed up for the full marathon and started steady running a couple weeks ago. Trying to ramp up weekly miles right now. Winter looks rough though, I have already been on the indoor track (thankful I have one nearby).

If you're running whats your plan? Combination of indoor/outdoor? I finally bought a headlamp to run at night weather permitting. Used it once and worked OK. I am thinkin this marathon seemd like a really good idea when I signed up, second guessing it now Also really pissed at myself for not running sooner after IMWI. I used it as an excuse to sit around and eat!

I'm in for the full. Needed to sign up for something to motivate myself after becoming lazy after IM Chattanooga. Doing most of my running on the treadmill... not too much fun there.

I've been there for 3 years in a row and will probably miss this year. It's on my wife's BDay this year and I always get hell for not being home on her birthday. Did the marathon last year. Didn't go as planned, but you'll have those days. Pretty flat course, but save something for mile 20-23 there are a couple hills in there.

During this past weekend's Olympic distance triathlon, lack of fuel and dehydration hurt me during the run. I feel a little lost with knowing what, when and how much to consume.
