So for the past few years I've wanted to be a part of ths group called the "Marathon Maniacs". There's a fairly strict set of guidlines to actually get into this group. The easiest way to get it in two run 2 marathons within 16 days which I easily did last weekend. (Not to mention running 100K in less than 14 hours)
Anyways, I actually qualified last weekend without even thinking about it. IT wasn't until a few days after that it hit me that I had qualified to apply. Well know I can gladly call myself Marathon Maniac number 2383!
In other news I did end up racing the A2A marathon (obviously) and finished 9th overall and 2nd age group with a time of 3:21:25. I started out super easy and actually ended up running close to 7 minute miles at the end. I felt great and was happy to get Oklahoma knocked off my 50 states list.
Now I have to big 50 milers coming up in less than 50ish days. I'm really looking forward to both. The first is Zane Grey which is supposed to be super tough, then I'm doing Jemez which is supposed to be equally tough due to the huge altitude.
I'll keep everyone updated on those races and anything else I add to the schedule. Hope everyone is training hard and enjoying this amazing spring weather!!
