Good for you Marcus...go for it. I've only run a couple marathons, but have probably done the half distance hundreds of times while just running for the pure joy of it. Get a good pair of running shoes and replace them long before you think they are worn out and your knees will thank you. My old shoes are then relegated to non-running activities. Make the time to run daily if possible, and stagger your routine; short, long, fast, slow, etc.

I switch my shoes out every 3 months or so and old ones become my gym shoes or elliptical shoes. I run every other day to give the knees a rest day. Off days i ride my bike.

Straight treadmill cardio this morning. I feel pretty good about my cardio condition. My wife did weight watchers before this pregnancy and lost 30lbs, she plans to pick it back up after the baby arrives. I decided to get ahead of the curve and jump on that treadmill too.
