Running Season

This year is my eleventh year of 26.2, and may be one of the closing years. It is funny a lot of my motivation to run the marathon had been to qualify for Olympic Trials, after learning about it from my running circle after doing the Maine Marathon in 2013. I didn’t even think about Olympic trials standards, racing my first big marathon. The third Olympic Trials year of my marathon career under thirty, didn’t land me an OT qualifying time, but maybe when I’m 33 it’ll happen. That would just be so much running, even without Olympic Trials happening for me, I have loved being in my sport living the life a little.

I will be training for both the Maine Marathon and the Mount Desert Island Marathon. I always thought it would be cool to do back to back marathons, and this will be pretty close to it!

Now it is time to start running more before work everyday, and posting all my training, maybe interview some training friends as well.

I will have a Knit or crochet project to go with my running fundraiser, soon to come. My big idea, is crochet/Knit pumpkins with gold ribbons to help raise money for childhood cancer research. Hopefully, between putting in the mileage and having a cute craft idea will be a successful fundraising idea. Thinking October already, and it’s not even August yet!

This morning I went for a five mile run around my block, casually in my old trainers, there were so many Bunny’s hopping around!
