Last year registration week came and went and I didn’t sign up and although I really enjoyed getting act as cheerleader I definitely regretted not toeing that starting line.

This year I told myself there is no way I’m missing out again so Monday morning at 7am I was on my computer filling out my registration! đŸ™‚

I am already looking forward to BOSTON 2016 – only 30 weeks to go!


 

While marathon training won’t start in earnest until January I’ve been getting back into the swing of this doing workouts thing for a few fall races I have on the schedule (more on that tomorrow!) and have started to slowly increase my long run back to where it should be (10-12 miles is not going to cut it soon).
