    Running a half marathon is on my no-regrets list. I enjoyed the information you shared, especially regarding running shoes. Looking forward to participating in one soon.

    That's great about your weight loss! And your running as well. I ran my first half-marathon in January, 2008, after not running for about 20 years. (Well, I'd trained for about four months.) Then I ran a full marathon in April of that year. Ran a few times after that, then stopped again until summer, 2010. January, 2011, I ran another half-marathon and have more halves on the calendar. I don't know how long I'll keep doing the big races, but I'm definitely not giving up running again.

    The biggest key to running a half marathon is consistent training. Shoes and diet can help a little, but the big key is getting out there and training as much as you can without getting injured or burnt out.

    I did the full marathon Moonwalk after Cancer surgery and it was a great experience. Key thing for me was good shoes and keep to the training program. My first pair of training shoes are all worn out but I still keep them - nostalgia

    I knew that good shoes were important, but I didn't realize the consequences could be so severe.

    Very good information!

    Would you still have the weight loss surgery if you could do it all over again?

    Nice article. While shoes may be one of the most important things to watch for, diet is more important. Marathon runners, if they want to stay efficient, that is, have to eat healthy food. Raw vegetables and white meat are prefererable over cooked vegetables and red meat, for instance. A great online guide with many helpful tips may be found at http://plumodan.info/marathon
