I have scratched my Spring marathon plans. It just isn't in the cards for me this time. With my kids being sick so often this winter, me getting sick (it's almost unheard of!), and the lack of motivation that varies from week to week, I am just not feeling it.
So, I signed up for the Rockford Half Marathon in May. I ran this one last year with my sister while I was still on my Marathon high...from running my first marathon just two weeks before. The course was decent, it was a smaller race, and it is close to home. My goal is to get my time down to about 2:05-2:08. It would make me really happy.
The deciding factor for me not running a Spring marathon as planned is signing up for The Chicago Marathon in October of this year!! I am excited to be running such a big race. I think it will be quite an experience...one that I will remember for the rest of my life...and I just may make it my annual thing. I am hoping that the third time is a charm and I can get my time between 4:30 and 4:45.

I'm all signed up for it too. I can't wait! Also, kind of nervous as it's my first marathon. :-{
