Sometimes we need to set goals to motivate ourselves, whether big or small, just something that will keep us accountable for our actions. With that being said, it's time for me to set my date for a full marathon! Enough procrastinating this is the year, before my life becomes even more hectic with new additions to the family. I think my life is crazy now, I haven't seen nothing yet!Here are the two that I am considering:
Long Beach Marathon- I ran the half marathon here about 2 years ago and had a blast. The course is fun, until you get to the boardwalk and then you have to be patient passing people because the it gets pretty narrow and you have sand on each side of you. The full marathon runs through Cal State Long Beach's campus, which would be a fun adventure. This race takes place October 9th, which leaves me with just a little over 4 months to train.
Las Vegas Rock'n Roll Marathon- I have always wanted to participate in one of the Rock'n Roll series, so the one in Vegas sounds pretty intriguing. The race is in the evening instead of morning, and the course takes you down the famous Vegas strip (how often do you get the chance to do that?). The race takes place December 4th, which gives me plenty of time to get my booty in gear.
If anyone else is interested in setting a similar goal with me, let me know so that we can help keep each other accountable. There is power in numbers, and I need all the power and motivation that I can get!
Pura Vida!
