and I'm pretty sure nobody is actually reading this anyway, so it's probably fine to just let the poor blog wither away.....
but for some reason, I just came back to give it CPR. or something.
I apparently last posted about 7 or 8 months ago. Carmel IN was the last on the list...since then...
July: Mad Marathon, VT (hard, HILLY, great travel)
Aug: Leading Ladies, SoDak (hard downhill, beautiful course, another amazing trip)
Sept: Oktoberfest, MI (had to stay an extra night so I could watch Miami beat OSU in football, wonderful to catch up with an old friend)
Oct: Prairie Fire, KS (rainy marathon, wet weekend, underwhelming city)
Nov: the quest for 5 Star Maniac Status - Savannah, GA, followed by the Richmond, VA and OBX, NC double.
Dec: finished up the year with a trail 50k. distance, no problem...found out that I am so not a trail runner. girl picked last has no coordination, just perseverance, stubbornness, and good endurance skills.
which brings us to marathon #61. since my knee hurt after #60, and I don't like running outside in VA during the winter, I kinda didn't train. I did a 16.5mile run while in FL a few weeks ago. Other than that, it's been a max of 3-6 miles, or combo of stuff up to 90minutes (e.g. 30min treadmill run, 30min elliptical, 30min bike)
My challenge, which made me slightly nervous was to see if I could run a marathon w/ virtually no training.
stay tuned...if you're out there.....
