What fun is that?<br />My advice: after this race, move down to the 10k or 5k. Whole new set of goals, and give your brain a break.Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641028266038110278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838911823399772442.post-61627840780407231292014-02-24T17:59:55.913-06:002014-02-24T17:59:55.913-06:00Girlfriend I feel your pain!

If you fuck it up on race day you can't just be "well I'll try again next weekend". <br />Not to mention how fucking expensive marathons are now a days. I sound like an old fart but, I remember when a marathon only cost $75.00 to register at the Expo the day before the race. Now they cost twice as much because there has to be entertainment on the course! <br /><br />I could write a novel about this topic but, then it would be all about me.....<br /><br />I say switch it up and really go after your half marathon PR. <br /><br />I'm trying to do that right now.<br /><br />Also have a baby or two, that helped light a fire under my ass to get back into shape. (I'm kidding) <br /><br />Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04308365395261709731noreply@blogger.com
