I basically whined while training for my first one. After that, once I knew what I was getting myself into..well..you realize you only sound silly.

My experience was a bit different. I never doubted my ability to do it. I didn't look at the training as torture. It was a very rewarding experience for me. I enjoyed the journey almost as much as the destination. |
Great answer, Monk. What's the point in even wanting to run a marathon if you don't look forward to each and every run? |
enjoying the journey, yes...but anybody training for a marathon who says they look forward to every run is either a liar or isn't training hard enough...

True. Getting out the door sometimes really sucked. But once out, I loved every run. No kidding.
