I am not a novice marathon runner if you go by the definition of whether I've never run one or just one or two. I've done four or five. Still, I'm no expert and I've not stayed in shape distance-wise the whole time. We are more into adventures and whatever kind of exercise comes with that then we are goal-oriented pursuits of victory.
We are going to roughly, very roughly, follow the Hal Higdon marathon train up for novices. http://www.halhigdon.com/training/51137/marathon-novice-1-training-program
Today we stood down because Dave felt his heels might be bruised. We need to get new running shoes, both of us. I have new trail-running shoes but they don't have the cushion that I need for asphalt or cement running, which is mostly what we have to do since runnable dirt trails or decent gravel roads are not all that easy to find, or so it seems.

We are in Tennessee and have run a couple loops around the Naval Air Station Mid-South, Millinton, TN which is probably about 6 miles per loop.
