We have track practice tonight, then my mom is coming over tomorrow. Yay! DH is working until 8, but we still get a date night. 9pm reservations. Here's hoping I don't fall asleep at the table. Sunday is DD1's Archery lesson and a trip to the Nature Center for the younger two.
Dh had to go into work for a while yesterday, so I didn't get to do my marathon pace long run (planned 18 w/14@mp). Instead I did 11 hilly miles with the stroller, followed by 7 at MP when he got home. Marathon pace seemed almost easy after ditching the stroller.
No racing for me this weekend. But I'm going to see some old friends at a symposium for the 50th anniversary of my PhD department, so that'll be fun. One of my long time grad school friends is married to a 3x ironman and I'm sleeping on their couch, so I imagine lots of shop talk.
I'm going out for a bike ride in the mkrnkng and then 19 miles sunday with two massive hills planned.
Also, it's go time for shellfish26!!! Get it, girl!!
I have to do the 15.4 Open WOD on Saturday and then Sunday I'll be at the zoo walking. Tonight will be CF. I only did it once this week. I feel so lost!!
Good luck shellfish26! You've got this! The temps look great for a marathon, and the wind not horrible for a beach run in March. I have fond memories of the post race beach party. Enjoy!

H and I are going to run 10k this weekend. Not an official race, but just decided to go out and do 10k. We have a festival later tomorrow after the 10k to go to.

Ugh
Good luck everyone!
We were in the 2-4" range for our snow and it isn't sticking on the road at all. The grass is barely covered. Hope you get a flop of a "storm " too!

I hope so! Itll be warm tomorrow, well warmish. So thatll help. They announced last week some course changes bc of the winter. Ugh
Meanwhile, my heel feels fine now. Im still nervous. I think ill be moving back to a stability shoe
No racing here, but plans to do 17 on Saturday. I had no takers for a road run, but did have someone wanting to run trail. I really need to start doing these long runs on the road. I'll make that next week's problem.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
Good luck racers! I'll be joining next week. I am heading out for an impromptu girls' getaway with my BFF to see a Billy Joel concert and connect with some college friends beforehand for dinner and drinks. I'm so excited. I'm less than excited about having to get in my long run tomorrow afternoon after we get home :?

HOLYCRAP I'M RUNNING A MARATHON!!!
Thanks so much for the wishes! I have a very heartfelt post planned, thanking everyone for your support, encouragement, awesomeness, etc., but I'll save that for Monday.
In the meantime, I'm kind of a mess. An excited mess, but still. If I didn't think it might violate some laws, I'd be carrying around a can of Lysol, spraying anyone who coughs near me. Race day weather looks perfect (50s and cloudy). We're headed down to VA Beach in the morning, so I am hoping to get a good long sleep tonight.

I walked over to the Georgia Marathon expo on my lunch break. I was hoping to get a new "Running for Two" type shirt, but couldn't find anything along those lines.
I had a pang of envy and sadness watching people pick-up their bibs. Eh, I can always run next year.
Considering I've this run this race before and don't even like it very much, my whole thought process is really quite silly
Good luck racers! You will be epic shellfish26. Hope you are feeling healthy and strong. Nerves are normal, just don't let the adrenaline get to you until later miles. have fun!!

I may be running a small 5k on Sunday, but I haven't decided yet. I'm still trying to get back in my groove after being sick last week, and I still have a cough and some sniffles.
