What distance constitutes a marathon?
does 20 miles in full pack webbing and boots, followed by an uphill assault on a defended position count as a marathon?

athletes, pussies
WW's knowledge never ceases to amaze me.
Hi Ski-bum. Like Player, I did a lot of running when younger (and we're both trained physiotherapists).
Good luck with your goal ski-bum.....may I enquire as to the reason for the 16 month time frame you've allowed?

Great! Are you still working or have you retired from your day job? I love what I do at the moment, lots of job satisfaction++. Enjoy the patient caseload and clinical research I'm doing. But do sometimes wonder what it may be like 20 years from now, given the high attrition rate and lack of career pathway. At this point in time, I'm thinking I'll still work part-time once we've reached our financial goals...but who knows
..........................Had an ACL reco July 09, started running seriously again Feb this year, was doing quite well in fun runs etc (beat the Puffing Billy - woo hoo ), on track for 1/2 marathon in July but got injured 2/52 ago (enchondroma of 2nd toe - Google it, I had to, apparently very uncommon), so in for surgery soon and not running again til at least Sept. Hence I've had to re-align my timeframes.
I'm very keen to run a marathon, as I think its as much of a mental challenge as physical (good advice WW about 30-35km mark). And yes, will be wearing out my knees in the meantime
