Finish First Marathon Blog

The Finish First Marathon Blog is my mini-journal about finishing your first marathon. It...

- lets you know whenever any new Web pages appear on Finish First Marathon, giving you a new motivation or nutrition tip

- keeps you up-to-date with other postings or news about finishing a marathon (like new uses for your iPod!)

- points out some of my past running tips and tricks that you might otherwise miss

- lets you know when I send out the Finish First Marathon e-zine (in case you don't like to give your e-mail address, or if your ISP tends to over-filter causing you to miss an issue).

To subscribe to my Marathon blog (no e-mail necessary), right-click on the orange RSS button (see bottom buttons to the left) and then paste the URL into your RSS reader. Or click on the My Yahoo! button or My MSN or Add To Google button if you keep a personalized home page there.

Once you start, you will be amazed at what RSS can do.

Good luck with finishing your first marathon!
