Marathon Season... I Love You...

That's right folks! Brush off your running shoes and hit the pavement. It's September again and we all know what that means!! Marathon Season!! Marathon season is my favorite time of year. It's Fall, the weather is beautiful, and it's a wonderful close to Triathlon season (and a welcome thought to steer clear of the pool for a while).

I've mentioned before about my scoliosis resulting in some nerve damage in my back. Last week was pretty bad for me and I couldn't do to much working out. Conversely, this week has been awesome!! Since it is September, I have started my long distance training for running. Last night I ran 4.5 miles, which isn't too far, but I felt like running more than the required 3. I'm using Hal Higdon's 18 week marathon training plan this year. It seems very similar to the plan I've used in the past so I think it will be useful. I'm extending the plan to 21 weeks since I like to take it easy around Christmas and I am planning the marathon to be in March rather than February. I haven't settled on a marathon yet though and have been considering many. I just can't decide. If you have any suggestions, let me know. I want a fast course!

This week I have the "Underground In Transit Triathlon". I'm super excited about that; it should be fun and very casual. If you're interested in knowing more about that, CLICK HERE!!

Okay, I'm off...
