3 1/2 weeks until Jax Bank Marathon... oh boy!

Alright it's game time. I have a pretty good list of races coming up.

Nov 9 was Savannah Rock N Roll Marathon
Dec 20- Starlight 1/2 Marathon
Dec 28 -Jax Banks Marathon
Jan 17 -Charleston South Carolina Marathon
Feb 15 - 26.2 Run with Donna 1/2 Marathon

I'm nervous and excited for this next marathon. I feel like I am finally feeling "recovered" and getting more motivated to run again. I am trying to put together a plan of attack for the next 6 weeks. I have about 2 weeks of hard push and that will leave me with 1 1/2 weeks of taper before the Jax Bank Marathon. Then 2 weeks between Jax Bank and Charleston.

I am so excited to achieve my goal about becoming a Marathon Maniac. It's something I have heard about and read about for a few years now, but never actually thought I could do it. Even if I'm slow at finishing these next two marathons... I will finish. I will proudly wear my marathon maniac shirt. Then, I will take a much needed break from marathon running... for a few months anyway.

15k Feet to Feast

Well I am finally getting back into the routine of running... and my next marathon is in just over 4 weeks. Yikes. That took longer than I'd hoped. I am running the Feet to Feast 15k tomorrow, I'm hoping for 9 minute mile average... I have no idea what I will end up with though! I had a rough day today feeling overly sore and tired... #stupidlyme I'm hoping tomorrow I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go. I could use a good run to encourage me right now.

After a disappointing race.. you register for more!

It's like the old saying goes... "When you fall off the horse, you get back in the saddle..."  I registered for the Jax Bank  Marathon Dec 28, and decided I will run the Charleston South Carolina Marathon Jan 17 qualifying me for the Marathon Maniac's group. Just because I had a hard, disappointing race doesn't mean I should stop, or take a break. It just means I need to try harder, push harder, and keep progressing. If my times aren't what I want, who cares.  I am trying and that's all that counts. Right?
