Next up: Myrtle Beach Marathon on Feb 18th. Wow. My 9th marathon. Sounds a little crazy. And my 9th State.... So far (in order): Chicago, Marine Corps (DC), Mardi Gras (New Orleans), Shamrock (Virginia Beach), Disney, New Mexico, Vermont, and Marathon in the Parks (MD). I am not sure how much longer I can hold out with marathoning though; the knees are not as forgiving as they used to be. I guess I need to get through this go-around, and through Ironman, and after that it will be time for a knee break.
This marathon is not so much of a focus as a "training run". Somewhat psychotic to consider a marathon a "training run", but I guess nothing is quite sane when it comes to Ironman.
I'm getting re-vitalized with fundraising for the American Heart Association too. Friday February 3rd is National Wear Red Day. Wear red to support the fight against heart disease and help raise awareness of heart disease and women.
Thanks again for all of your support.---
