In the interest of crossing yet another item off of this list, the marathon has entered my mind and it won’t leave!
I’ve been reading about blogger friends training for the big 26.2 all summer; during the heat waves and amidst summer vacations, it was easy to think “ Whew, glad that’s not me! “. Now, Marlene has her race coming up (!!) and Nicole is only 3 weeks away….
And now I read and think “ Oooh, that’s exciting! “. And I’m a little curious, very interested, and getting impatient…..
*******
Once I register, that’s it! I’m IN! Most of you know what I mean; it seals the deal. So, I’m looking! And here are some options I’ve come up with (in order of date):
SunTrust National Marathon – I love the idea of running around DC; because I already Love running around this city. It would be comfortable and familiar; it would Not involve travel. All GOOD things! It’s in March, could be a little chilly….
Cleveland Marathon – I’ve been to Cleveland once, en route to Penn State. Not sure that counts….
This would be a potential Blogger-Meet-Up, I like the dates (May 14-15), and it would be a NEW State (check and check!). Nic just suggested this one last night, now it’s definitely on the list.
Seattle Rock ‘n Roll Marathon – I’ll definitely be here, half or full – Lacey and I have tentatively planned a meetup around this! It’s hard to turn down any race in the R&R series, I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. This falls at the end of June,and it will also be a new state. That’s 3-in-1 (check, check, check); or I could go for the “half” and save the stress with the traveling and training into summer……
*******
Between now and January there will probably be 4-5 more races that come on and off of that list; too many options! all I know is that Spring 2010 will include marathon training, and at least ONE 26.2 mile route.
Feel free to make suggestions and/or say “ I’m coming too! “
