A while back I put out a call for suggestions for spring races in the Midwest. Meanwhile, Jess was looking for a half-marathon (her first!) to register for. She lives in Michigan and I have family there, and the stars aligned and calendars worked so that we both decided to run....
THE MARTIAN HALF-MARATHON
which you can check out here. I am so excited to get to meet her! Also, I'm really looking forward to racing again in Michigan. Although it was painful (due to an injury), I really enjoyed running there a year ago (race recap here). AND I get to see family. Awesome piled on top of awesome.
And, although I'm nervous about the timing, I've also picked a spring full marathon. It shall be:
The Cleveland Marathon
I'm nervous because it's only 6 weeks after the Martian Half. I'm also nervous because I've never done a spring full. But, as Mamarunsbarefoot (a fabulous blog I just found) says:
"Everyone who steps out of their comfort zone, works, sweats, and yes even cries comes across that finish line changed forever, and yes they all win!!"
Time to put together my spring training plan and get excited about Half #6 and Marathon #3!!

Martian has been on my fantasy list for awhile. Just because of the coolness of it. Have fun. I see a x.xx time in your future. You know I cannot tell you the prediction, so don't ask. Let's see how close I am.
Yay!! I'm super excited!!
