I finally committed (financially) to a specific marathon. Late last night I registered for the Days of ’47 marathon for July 24th. I had chosen that marathon more than a month ago and planned to register on January 1st when I was told that registration would begin then. Unfortunately, registration did not begin on January 1st. I don’t know when I last checked that it was still not available, but I checked again last night and it was open, so I registered.
That’s 56 more reasons not to be a slacker in my training. Now I just need to get to where I can run on my ankle again. I’ve been cycling for my training for the last few weeks, as noted before, but I need to get out and actually run 10 miles rather than cycling for an equivelant amount of time.
I’m excited to be getting closer to this goal. 26 miles still seems like a huge mountain to climb.
