• Candace 'Yes, I always get nervous as the marathon date approaches. It's less than a month now (as you know!) and I get a little bit more antsy as the dates draws near. I try to put it in perspective and this calms me down. Training and running a marathon is a great accomplishment. It means you have are healthy enough to run, it means you're motivated and it usually means you're a positive person who sets goals and meets them. When I get nervous about the looming marathon, I think of many of my colleagues who have real reason to be depressed or miserable. One lost their son last week, another has cancer, another is in a miserable marriage with an abusive alcoholic. I could go on and on, but you get the drift. So all of us who run marathons are lucky people. Even though there are always periods in every marathon where I feel miserable and want it to end, I always want to run another one right after I cross the finish line. That's the beauty of the marathon.' added 2nd Apr 2008
