Vancouver Marathon Training - Starting Again

Well here I go again - ready to embark on another marathon experience. Not ready, more like keen. Not feeling especially fit after over-indulging over the holidays and totally losing my base in November and December. I hope I won't be writing anything very interesting here. Encounters with wild animals, nutjobs, idiots behind the wheel, and deceptively deep puddles might make for an exciting read but excitement is exactly the opposite of what I'm looking for here.
