I finally did it, pulled the trigger, clicked the mouse...
and registered for my first full Marathon!!
The course drew me in...
4 cities, 2 states, 1 island, crossing over the Mississippi River 3 times
(Illinois and Iowa border)
The bling is sweet...
They support active MILITARY with a 50% discount. Score for my hubby to run too!
Most importantly, my whole family will be able to be there to cheer me on!
"Instead of focusing on all the things I can't control,
I am enjoying the moments in front of me.
The marathon is going to be an amazing journey
and I get the chance to write the ending. "
- Shalane Flanagan

ReplyDeleteAwesome! This is my hometown race! I will be there - probably doing the half, I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger! Maybe I can meet you though! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteI love this race, by the way. I've done the relay twice. It's quite pretty.
Way to pull that trigger. Sounds like an exciting race.
ReplyDeleteI ran the QC half in 2010 and it was so flat. The only "hills" were running over a few bridges when you cross the Mississippi. The first half is much more interesting than the second, though.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Congratulations! Welcome to the club. And beware, they're addicting.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What an awesome feeling, right?! You're going to do FABULOUS!
