Guess I've found my threshold... between 8 - 9 miles... after that my legs will refuse to listen to my brain.  Doesn't help that I've only been running once a week.  I'm pleased I was at least able to complete the Soldier Field 10 mile, maybe not at the pace that I could be proud of, but I was able to participate, finish, and have a good time.  We ran another 10 miles today... but my calves were burning up, and my ankles and knees were taking a pounding... had to walk the last mile 

But I'm determined to do the marathon (and I would like that I start strong and finish strong).  Something my military buddy told me: "Pain is weakness trying to leave the body."  Guess pain's one of those problem tenants that just don't wanna leave my body.
