I've decided, and I'm signed up for 26.2!!

After debating between Grandma's, Minneapolis, or no spring marathon, I've finally signed up... for the Minneapolis Marathon on June 2nd!! Eeck!

I survived 20 miles yesterday (and I had a hard lesson in how bad the last miles can feel if you go out too fast).

I'm excited though, and it should be a pretty course and nice run as long as the weather doesn't get too hot. Now of course I'm wondering if anyone here is doing the 1/2 or full in Mpls??

I won't type out a novel here, but here's my latest thoughts on doing another marathon:

Yay! That is so exciting. You are going to do great - your running has been so strong lately.

I'm sure you will do great! I'm excited that you decided to jump in and take advantage of your current fitness level. I have a feeling that you have a huge PR coming your way!

That is awesome! You are going to do great!

I think you girls are more confident than me. :-) Thanks for all the support!

Oh wow, you put in that kind of mileage and just decided to go for it now?. Crazy girl. You've got this!

[thom]

Blondie, well - I was basically set on doing a marathon, but I couldn't decide which. Plus, both of them were already at their high prices so there wasn't any $ savings anymore. I figured I may as well wait until after my 20 mile was officially done. Then I got worried yesterday reg might close for Minneapolis, being it's now less than 3 weeks away, so I decided I had to sign up before I couldn't. I think it's more popular for the half anyway, and I'm safely in.

That is awesome! You will do great!

I had thought about the 1/2 but decided to do the red white and boom half instead.

Awesome! Good luck!
