Marathon Dare I?

So lately I been revitalized with pilates. I can attest that my doberman prefers to me to pet him than to actually do pilates as every time I lay down my mat he decides to lay on the mat and then as I exercise hint at a petting by putting his head under my hand. Considering that pilates is awesome, I want to expand my exercise. My friend, Ms. Marathon has contemplated that I run with her. It is for cancer research, so it would be for a good cause, but can I really run 26 miles? I don't like to run, but maybe I can learn to like it? I am really attracted to the travel aspect of it.
Maybe I am crazy as I currently have no endurance?
Maybe I should start with a 5k first?

I think you can do it if you train properly and have enough time to build up to it. No need to *participate* in a 5K to build up to a marathon. You'll do plenty of *5Ks* during training.
Good luck!
I'm curious about your routine. Do you use a pilates video or book? I had been going to the rec center pilates class during lunch 2x a week but now with it being so hot I don't want to get sweaty in the middle of the day. I have a yoga mat and exercise ball. Now I need to motivate myself to do it at home. What kind of results do you get and long did it take to see them? When I went to the class regularly I swear my behind got bigger/perkier.
Girl good for you! A lot of people train with the 5Ks first then graduate to the 26 miles. Try a 5k first and then go from there. Maybe a 10K and the sky's the limit!
Well done! once you start training properly, you can go further.
Do it, girl! That would be such a great accomplishment! If you work hard, train right, and get yourself in tip-top shape, you'll be just fine! (**now excuse me while I finish eating my unhealthy plate of chicken corn dogs with a side of chocolate cake!) Good luck!
