Cooler weather has finally arrived and that means my marathon season is finally here. I've decided to run three marathon before the year is up; Marathon 2 Marathon, Chosen Marathon for Adoption, and the San Antonio Rock n' Roll. Originally it was just supposed to be two races and then I started looking at my marathon stats or the last year and that if I squeezed in another one by November I could move up one Marathon Maniac level.
In the realm of Marathon Maniacs I'm just a no body with my one star status but hopefully slowly but surely I will move up in the ranks. If all goes well in November I will move up to two stars. I would have run eight marathons/ultras in 364 days. That may seem like a lot of running to some, but there are runners out there running a marathon or two every weekend. Their determination is inspiring.
Marathon 2 Marathon is in the books. It was held in Marathon, Texas last weekend. It was a small well run race with lots of friendly people. Before the race the runners met at the finish line were we boarded buses and then were taken out 26.2 miles and dumped. We then had to literally marathon to Marathon. The weather wasn't ideal, but there isn't anything anyone could do about that. I had a great time.
Next up is Chosen which stars in scenic but hilly Gruene, Texas. My plan is to run an easy pace and enjoy myself. A lot of people from my running group will be participating and will be nice to see everyone out there.
