Hey Runners

Attention all you runners out there, I just got back from an 8 mile jaunt and I was really thinking about trying for a marathon. But I need suggestions on how to go about doing that! I suppose if I don't get any suggestions from you guys I might just go to the library and see what I can find. So if you have any reading suggestions I'd take those too! My 8 miles took me 1:17.06, or 9 minute 38 seconds per mile. Not bad for this big dude! Let me know runners!
