With the 2006 Portland Marathon just around the corner, how do you know you have what it takes? Like many people, I am hoping to run a marathon at least once in my life, but I know I am NOT ready for this one. (Yes I do have major marathon envy!)

I would love to hear from kgw.com viewers who have their own inspirational stories about setting their minds to do a marathon and achieving success, then who knows, maybe I will be able to do what it takes to train and prepare so I can lace up my sneakers for the 2007 Portland Marathon.

So, submit your advice by clicking on comments, located below and then current and future runners can hopefully enjoy learning from your experiences.
