Whether I wanted it or not, I think my body was just bound and determined to have a month off after the marathon...at least that's what I'm saying to make myself feel better about how lazy I've been the past three weeks.
I've been really surprised, that despite a plethora of poor fitness and nutritional decisions, I haven't gained back any weight since the marathon. That puts me in a scary place though because I've had this feeling before and it's always right before the weight sneaks back up and attacks me!
I got back on the Jillian Michaels/running train today. I need a race though. Both my old college roommates are planning marathons in 2010; one will run the Nashville marathon in April with her husband and the other is contemplating a June marathon in Minnesota with her mom. I need a plan, too, but I need some more local options.
Anybody know any can't-miss races (from 5Ks to marathon) in the Carolinas?
Myrtle Beach half/full in February--i am kinda playing with the idea--probably the half though!
ReplyDeletealso-Charlotte Thunder Road half/full--Dec 12th--i wanted to do this one but my Girls On The Run 5K is that day!
I want to run the Thunder Road half next Dec in Charlotte!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to do either the full or half Nashville Marathon, I hear it's a fun one! I'm not sure of any in your area though - good luck!
ReplyDeleteSome friends of mine and I are thinking of doing the Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston.
