In approximately 8 weeks, I will claim my Marathon Maniac status. I will also be a double agent. Half Fanatic and Marathon Maniac. How did this all come about, well I was challenged to do a full this year. My goal was to only do NY Marathon, BUT when I went to the Route 66 race and met all of the HF/MM plus the people I was with, they talked me into do it. I agreed to do the 2 marathons within 16 days that way I can get it over. My initial plan was to do Little Rock Marathon and then Seabrook Marathon in Houston 2 weeks later. Well after looking at my race schedule, I ended up changing my Cowtown HALF marathon to the FULL. SO now I have 2 marathons within 7 days and I am going to pay for it.
Strategy: Cowtown gives 7.5 hours and Little Rock gives 8 hours. What does this mean for me? Well I have plenty of time to run/walk this race at a good pace so I won't get tired. If I don't go for time, I will get far. If I go for time, then I may rush it and then end up not finishing. I mean, the ultimate goal is to become a MM #double agent!!!
I have 19 miles to run tomorrow, but have to split it because I am doing a 15k in the morning. I plan to do 10 miles right after that race if possible. If not, then I will have to do it on Sunday. Rather do it in 1 day to make sure I can get through the mileage without a huge gap. Whew.....I am tired just thinking and typing about this, BUT it's done. All races are paid for. Oh and did I forget to mention that I am doing a 10k the day before Cowtown (as part of the challenge) AND a 5k the day before Little Rock. Stay tuned!
