Looking ahead
>> Friday, January 23, 2009
To answer everyone's questions from my comments...
I'm not exactly sure what I will be training for next. Originally, Michael and I really wanted to do some adventure races, if you recall from my 2009 resolutions. We still want to do that, but I definitely want to do another marathon sometime. Because the weather gets so warm here in AZ, there really aren't any other marathons around us until the Fall. So we'll see... We don't really have the funds to travel anywhere to do a race but we're hoping to do that next year after all of our debt is paid off. I guess I shouldn't say "we don't have the money" because we do... we have funds, we just don't want to spend it on that right now. We're paying $2,000 per month EXTRA on my student loans so once those are paid off, hopefully we'll get a lot more travels in.
Right now, Michael and I are planning on doing the Lake Havasu Half-Marathon the first weekend of April. We want to make a weekend out of it, which I think sounds perfect. I would really like to try racing a half marathon since I've only ever done that distance during training. I hit the 13.1 mark during the PF Chang's Marathon in 2:28:00 and obviously I wasn't even pushing myself at that point so I know I can go the distance a lot faster than that.
To sum up this post, I don't know squat!
We'll see what this year brings. We've been looking so I will let you know what we find!

Sounds great! You have 11 more months left in the year to have fun!
Best of luck in the quest for future races!
An adventure race would be awesome!!
The Half Marathon sounds like a great plan too. Technically you should be able to run a stand alone 13.1 faster than the first half of a full marathon, but I'm going to find that challenging in my race tomorrow... which really just shows how I went out WAY to fast in that marathon! Eeek. We'll see I guess!
