I ran a half marathon this past Saturday and it was a killer!  A lot of hills and I have not trained on hills!  Maybe I am too old to be doing these darn things, but they sure are fun (most of the time).  I just applied for the NYC marathon next November.  Since I am not a fast enough runner to qualify, I will have to wait and see if I get picked for the lottery.  Hope so!  I wasn't ever going to do another marathon, but this opporunity came to me, as far as a place to stay, and someone to cart me around, who knows NYC, so I am going to give it a whirl.  This means months of training again, but one more time!!!!  We'll see!
