I am 99% sure on a spring marathon (actually in mid May), but I am just hesitant to fork out the registration fee until I can get in some good training before the middle of January. I hate waiting to the last minute and I hate having to make a big decision like this. I hope you can figure out what you want to run soon too.

Dont tell anyone, but the Illinois Marathon is the one ive "chosen." hehe<br /><br />Im going to see how the next 2 months go with my ITB and ankle and if all goes well with getting up to 30-40 miles a week by the end of january, the Illinois marathon will be a go!

Since the race offers the full, half, 10K, and 5K distances, and we could stay at Erin's parents house there, I think it would be the perfect race for a getaway!!!<br /><br />So excited for your 2013 running and racing adventures!!! No matter what race you do, you will do amazing. And I've always lived by the idea that we should always "Shoot for the moon, because even if we miss, we'll still land in the stars!"emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-7955199946058077652012-12-08T15:06:53.577-06:002012-12-08T15:06:53.577-06:00AMEN to that! :)AMEN to that! :)Xaarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103441780159368391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-81721875479937107462012-12-08T15:06:39.287-06:002012-12-08T15:06:39.287-06:00Big dreaming- the only way to go right?! :)

If you think you still need the next few months to rest and heal, you can aim to start spring/ summer training for a fall marathon.

Literally. I was thankful I finished in one piece. If you're not opposed to traveling, there are quite a few spring marys within driving distance. Excited that you're doing the shamrock shuffle. Still on the fence about that race right now. I love it, and this woul be my 8th year doing it. Hopefully I'll see you there ;)<br /><br />Dream big girl! You proved that anything is possible last time around.
