Marathoning Ambitions

I just wanted to write this down so I have record (and therefore accountability:)) for it, but I have signed up to run 2 marathon in the spring. I am planning on running the Atlanta marathon on March 20th with my little brother Mike which should be awesome, and then the St.Louis marathon on April 9th, along with my friends Noelle and Chris. This past weekend I ran 15 miles out in the craziest weather yet, which included 9 degree temps with a -10 degree real feel and 15 mph wind gusts. It was so cold that my gatorade turned slushy (and actually quite enjoyable!) by mile 6 and was completely frozen over by mile 11. Although I don't particularly enjoy those conditions (being an understatement at that!) I am also so grateful to be able to get out of the house and enjoy some fresh...er, cold!...air in the winter time.

Running these 2 races should be a challenge, but also quite fun and I am looking forward to the challenge that they will bring. Although I have run a few marathons, I have never done 2 within 3 weeks of each other, and I am excited to see how that goes. I'm sure I will keep you posted in the end.
