Great thread guys,
Inspirational I should say.
I have been doing the same thing (used to run 5 mi 3x week), but lately I gave up running becoz I am loosing too much weight (I am always skinny ) and I started lifting weights and playing racquetball instead.
So far I am having fun and cant imagine anytime in my life so caring about my health and fitness.
I have been a smoker in past too and I completely quit after being dxed with Type1 D.
And all you people going on long hours for run and Ride what is your diet like before starting the training and how you make sure you are in that perfect range (glucose levels) all the time ?.
Great going Scratch and please keep us posted about your road to the marathon and how you keep ur motivation alive all the time.
What I believe is you will be definitely be successful in your endeavor.
