You can blame tumblr for eating my post and I didn’t get to fix it before I left for more interviews.
So my 2nd half marathon is this Saturday which got me thinking I need to start looking ahead. Having something to train for has been a KEY factor in my success. I have decided my next challenge to take on is a full marathon and wait until spring and warmer weather to train for a triathlon. With that being said I am seriously considering running the Los Angeles Marathon on March 20, 2011.
Some of the reasoning for this is:
- I will have plenty of time to train and be ready
- The weather should be favorable in LA in late March
- If I’m still working here – it would fall on the tail end of spring break so I could take time to be in LA a few days prior to the race.
- I’d get to visit a good friend of mine who is a writer for How I Met Your Mother. Last year I toured the set and he gave me an open invitation to come back for a filming and maybe even get to be an extra!
- Finally my UGW date is March 21, 2011 the first day of spring and what a great way to celebrate my “rebirth.”
There are a number of factors to consider – like if I will still be in my current job in March. However I really think all of these things other factors are quite serendipitous. I also feel like if I got a new job between now and then I would mention I have a registered for a full marathon and would hope folks would be understanding. However if I plan to do this, I want to register sooner rather than later so spots don’t fill up and so I can’t back out 😛
PS – also David Cook (who won American Idol in ‘08 and is my future husband) lives in LA and he really got me motivated to run my first 5K – he has run Race4Hope the past 2 years in DC to raise $ for brain cancer awareness….he lost his brother to brain cancer the day before the race in 2009. So I kinda want to like get to his “people” and share my success story and maybe have him cheer me on…is that lame? I’m lame.
