I ran the NYC Marathon a number of times back in the day. Several times I would see runners smoking before the start of the race. They were always speaking French.

How quickly can a non runner become a runner and possibly run a marathon? Is that the dumbest thing ever to do?

Not the dumbest. Some people have gone to multiple Ween shows.

If you're serious, this will change your life:

I am *somewhat* serious... I need a health goal and while I've always been active, historically I'm a BAD runner... Injuries, probably not warming up/stretching properly, going too hard too fast has always messed up any potential of continuity.

i think the missus was on a 4-month program for her first marathon.  the programs work, but they're pretty serious time commitments.   the missus was highly motivated so she didn't mind waking up an hour earlier each day to do her training, dedicating a good chunk of her saturdays to the weekly long run, etc.  i'll ask her which program she used...

Training for a marathon solo is hardcore - I could never do it!
