I'm trying to decide if I should run the National Marathon again this year? Last year it was my first marathon and I was delighted to break four hours. I'm in the middle of a two week trial right now to see if I feel like I can do it justice this year. If I do run I'd like to run a 3:30.
For a first marathon it was a blast, I was one of the featured runners on NBC4 as I worked to raise funds for the AIDS orphans through Team World Vision. This gave me a great motivation to run and I'm delighted to have raised some funds for a great cause.
This past Monday I pounded out 14 miles on the treadmill at an 8:00 pace, if the weather doesn't allow me do my long runs outside then there's no way I'm running it. (I can only tolerate about 4-5 miles on the treadmill). This coming Monday will be a fifteen mile run, if I feel good after that then I may be on for my first marathon of 2008 and my third overall.
