I’ve mentioned a couple of times that I am toying with the idea of running another marathon in 2014. My 1st and last marathon was in 2004 so this would be a great 10 year anniversary type of situation.
My 1st marathon was also my very 1st race. I ran it with Team in Training and I was a newbie runner with no race experience. I know that with 10 years of running experience I can run a much smarter race and I am curious and excited to see what it would be like again:)

Here is the dilemma. The race I want to run is called the “Light at the End of the Tunnel Marathon”. It is 26.2 miles of gentle decline and that sounds like heaven to me:) The problem is that it is in July and they don’t open registration until March (as far as I know). There isn’t even anything on the website about the 2014 race yet. Plus, last year the race sold out in only 7 hours!
I want to start training in January, so I think I might need a backup plan. Another marathon in the back of my head just in case this one either doesn’t happen, or I don’t get in.
The only real conflict I have is the North Olympic Discovery Half the 1st weekend in June. Other than that I am pretty open for a late June or July race.
So, in case the “Goal Race” doesn’t pan out, I need options. Any thoughts? What is your favorite race in June or July? Something on the West Coast preferably, so I don’t have to deal with jet lag;) Anyone want to join me in my 10 year anniversary marathon?!
In other news, I am still sore from these workouts. I did the “She Rocks” one on Tuesday and followed that up with my Jump rope workout on Wednesday, plus a 3 miler on the treadmill! My legs are completely spent!
Have a great day and happy running!
