Marathon!
I did it! I registered for the National Marathon. On March 20th I will be running with 12,000 other marathoners and half marathoners, hopefully crossing the finish line in one piece. I’ve got a lot to learn about marathoning in the meantime, which is why it’s a good thing that I have six months to learn all I can.
I’ll be using this training plan from Runners World, and I think I’m going to aim for an average of 10:00 miles (4:22 marathon). But I’ll be happy just to finish :) I’m very excited and I’m looking forward to the training. The first thing I need to find out is what my mileage should be before the 16 week training period begins. It looks like there are some great books out there – if I find any particularly useful ones I’ll post them here.
162 days to go!
Way to go Kate! We are proud of you and wish you good luck. :)
I’m registered for the same race, but I opted for the 16-week training program since I plan to pig out at Thanksgiving!
Good luck. I’m following your blog as motivation.
Pigging out on Thanksgiving is definitely part of my training plan as well. Luckily there’s a local turkey trot 10k, so I won’t feel quite so guilty about digging in! Have you run the National Marathon before?
