Jesus! Before you race any distance you should run that distance. So, in training, run 13 miles, at
comfortable pace, befrore attempting to race 13 miles. Jesus!

TO be a marathon it has to be 26.2 miles. 13 miles is a _half_ marathon.

Assuming you just started running and based on your pace, I'd suggest

* you plan on running it in 2005. That will give you the time to prepare and not hurt yourself.

* you try running some shorter races, like a 5k first. Then progress over some time to 5mile (8K),
then 10K, before trying the Half marathon (13.1mile).

* you vary your training. All training must include stress (training runs and races) and rest (off
days or cross training).

Other Suggestion: read the Frequently Asked Questions http://www.faqs.org/faqs/running-faq/

Final suggestion is to keep asking questions, here in rec.running and elsewhere.

Hope to hear more from you.

Enjoy the run. Ed

Actually 13 miles is 0.496 of a marathon, to 3 decimal places :-)

No wonder the dog bit you, you smell. The dog was trying to clean up the environment.
