The website has live links to useful products, and a number of marathon and half marathon directories that could be very useful for somebody trying to find a local one.

In a previous workout tip about proper hydration, I mentioned that hyponatremia is a topic I would revisit later. Hyponatremia is something to be aware of but not something to be worried about.

Over the weekend I will be posting a pair of reviews; one will be about his website, and one will be about his eBook that he has for sale. I will let you know what I think about them and whether I think they are worth visiting or buying.

The links to my future articles are going to be included below, but please be aware that the pages that they point to will not actually be available until Saturday (for the website review) and Sunday (for the eBook review). In the meantime, you should go check out the website at www.marathonrookie.com and get some first impressions of your own. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them here or after either review once they have been posted.

At the end of September I had gotten fairly sick for a few days, but other than a bad cough I felt fine shortly thereafter. However, with a marathon coming up in the near future, and the cough only having gotten worse over the next few weeks following that, I had gotten desperate enough to visit a doctor.
