Thank you Allan for your comment. I have been asking everyone and have received some great replies for both. I have made my decision and registered this morning. I will be running the Chicago marathon!!!! I am so excited and also feel like I am going to be sick.

Great show. Was a little surprised that you don't love running. There are days I love it and days I don't but love the after run feeling.

I'm glad Stevie is not having pain running in the Vibrams and that both of you are having fun with them. Someday I will probably try them but I am too excited about getting Newtons right now.

I decided I will run my 1st marathon this fall and have been debating between the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon and the Chicago Marathon. I would like your thoughts on running a smaller marathon (3000 people) vs a larger marathon (30,000 people) - especially for your 1st marathon.

Hi Allan and Stevie,

Loved the episode and thank you for the comments on running a first marathon. I did use them all and had a great time.

I do run for enjoyment and modified my running plan when I found that it was a chore instead of doing it for fun.

I think I have been forefoot running but am unsure if that is what I am actually doing so your comments above really make me think I should try the Vibrams. Cannot wait to hear full story on next podcast.

Thank You,
Jorie (and you did fine pronouncing it. It is like Lori but with a J.)
