Check out the book 'The non-runners marathon book' it gives a comprehensive prgram to build up to a marathon.
Another great resource is Team in Training - you get trained to run a marathon to raise money for research for Leukemia. The training is really good and so is the support system. Look them up online - they do marathons all over the US.

Are you already a runner? How much do you run now?

If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

I've never ran seriously in my life. After all the crap I've put my body through, its time to do something for me mentally and physically. I've set a goal for a year hopeing that will give me enough time.

Thanks for book tip!

My father and brother have run a lot of marathons, me, never and I honestly don't really feel like running one either! :)
On the contrary doing a Triathlon fascinates me a lot more.

We all need personal goals. Try to do a seach in here, I'm sure that you'll find some help.
I wish you all the very best luck!
