Part of the my-first-marathon preparations are weekly visits to the U of I track to do a bunch of 800 meter runs (as fast as I can). Some things I really appreciate about these evenings:
There is a pace group for EVERYONE who comes out.
EVERYONE asks about upcoming races people have planned.
Individual goals and accomplishments are celebrated by EVERYONE.
This environment is encouraging, supportive, and informative. A guy I consider one of my running mentors lent me this book today.
