I know a lot of people say for your first you should be happy just finishing. But I always like to have a goal, it gives me something to work towards. So my goal is to finish in under 4 hours. I’ll be happy be 3:59:59.

I’m traveling to my first marathon. I’m running Chicago. Do you have a goal time in mind or are you just doing it for fun? I’m super competitive and as much as i say oh i’ll just go out for fun, i’ll probably end up racing myself ha ha ha ha!

Good luck on your races!

@Crystal Thanks!!
@Kat That is so funny! I thought about doing a Disney one as well, but thought the same thing
@Atrunsi I don’t have an official timed 10K, so I guess we will find that out on Sat.

Hey, no worries, you are not the only one that plans races at the last minute!, actually, if you were to ask me, I think you are better organized than me!

Good luck on your races, what is your 10k time?, cool T-shirts!!

Congrats on setting your next couple of races. I completely understand your reasoning for choosing to do the SA RnR marathon – that’s how I wound up doing the 1/2 that I did. I was really tempted to do the Disney Princess 1/2, but since it was my first big race, I didn’t know how I would feel afterwards…and didn’t want to be in Orlando if I couldn’t enjoy all the parks! I’m sure you will have just as much fun doing the race in SA – the different music races (RnR, country music, etc) sound like they would be SOOO much fun!

The two races sound like great fun, especially the one you will be running together. It’s great to run a race with someone else.

It can be tough to plan races way in advance. The problem with the better known runs (in NL) is that they tend to fill up quickly, so often you need to sign up six months in advance,

Good decision on the local marathon rather than one with many sights to be seen before and after the event.

Good luck with your upcoming races! I only have one race planned this year but I do want to add at least 1 more to the list. I like the new look to your blog too. Nice job. =)
