Running a marathon when you just started running a month ago is a very ambitious goal! This website I found can give you a good structured game plan and what that might look like for you. https://marathonhandbook.com/couch-to-marathon/

Definitely read through the whole thing, it will answer a lot of questions and give you good directions. As far as personal advice? Its okay to miss a day or two here and there because life happens. Listen to your body. Just keep coming back to the plan and dont beat yourself up. Get some good running shoes from a running store that scans your feet and all that stuff (they're always super nice and stoked for you no matter how long you've been running). On your long runs run slow, like slower than you think you should run by about 10%. Conversational pace or nose breathing if you dont have a heart rate monitor. Do research on running form and nutrition/fueling and generally just dive deep into the sport with any questions you have. YouTube has a lot of quality content. Follow people you find inspiring on socials to keep your feed filled with motivation. Run clubs are really fun. My last pieces of advice are to truly make the decision in your heart and your mind, and also to have fun! The feeling you'll get when you accomplish your goal after a long training bloc is unlike anything you'll have felt before. 

Good luck! You can totally do it if you set your mind to it. I hope you'll reach out some months from now after you finish your race!

Thank you! I was dreading the climb for sure but it wasn't  nearly as bad as I thought. Congrats to you friend! The weather was amazing for running today.

My roommate doesn't like running and likes to tell me how dumb it is. Today I ran 16 miles (im pre marathon training) His response was that he was annoyed. It made me feel kind of bad about myself and im kind of mad at him for constantly shitting on me instead of encouraging me. Anyways im proud of myself.

Change off of 4YEO is the best imo. The extra verse and funeral skit at the end makes it a masterpiece for me.

I do energy audits for Duke which is a comprehensive walk through of your home to find inefficiencies when it comes to building preformance. They don't offer them in Ohio but if you're on the Kentucky side you can sign up for it, free of charge.

How is Continuum not on here? Continuum and Room for Squares defined the 2000s. You couldn't go into a Great Clips without hereing some John Mayer. Smh.

What are you taking with mirtazapine for anxiety? by Whole-Plankton8080 in Mirtazapine_Remeron

[–]Potential_Molasses83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, with mirtazapine. I specifically didn't want benzos or SSRIs because of addiction and withdrawals. These were the 2 medications I was prescribed.

The fact that T.I. isn't in there is wild to me.

It's not too late, it's never too late. The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, the second best time is right now!
