Running have never been my favorite sport activity. But after finishing my first race (like 3 years ago) I was quit happy and released when I crossed the finish line. The fact is that just after, you feel the sensation that you want more. And race after race, facing your own previous time your goal becomes improvement. Not only because of your ego stuff, but because you feel more healthy and you want to keep it like this.
I now finished the 37th Berlin Marathon (which took place Sept. 26th 2010). Like any long distances race it really pushes you to your limits. Again it was really nice to participate to that race even under the bad weather we faces.
If you like challenging your self, just go for it, you can't regret it.
