My first marathon was the Ogden Marathon of 2004. I had signed up for the race on Monday and it was on Saturday. A friend who was a runner asked me how long my longest run was. I was so new to running that I didn’t know what a long run was. I ran about 5 miles three times a week. When my runner friend gently suggested that maybe I should train for another year, I said, “Well, I do a lot of yoga.” I was so ignorant that I genuinely thought doing a lot of yoga was helpful preparation for the race.
