[quote="veganlisa"]I took the plunge and signed up for the California International Marathon. Doing online training with Greg McMillan. I just started running again after a long layoff, so the goal right now is to just finish.
I just "took the plunge" myself and signed up for the CIM as well, with a similar goal of simply finishing! It will be my first marathon, and in October, I will be running the (Sacramento) Urban Cow Half Marathon. I actually signed up for the half first, but the more I've been running and reading, the more I have been encouraged and empowered to run a full marathon.
