But then I developed an IT band injury but I had already registered for the Toronto Marathon. Suddenly I found I could not run 2 miles ...

I did the goofy and had a blast! I think running 50 miles is not the key (ie running super long).

OOPS! I guess I better be careful what I type. I still have never changed a baby's diapers before, but maybe that will change someday. Step #1 is for us to wait for Marsha's Immigration application to be approved (hopefully in next two months).
