Sooooo…
….I *think* I’ve found another half marathon to train for.
Yes, I’m ridiculous.
It hasn’t even been a week since the YuKanRun Half Marathon and I’m now itching for another.
Who am I??
This is SO not the “me” after last year’s Wicked Half – I wanted NOTHING to do with 13.1 after that race. But this time is different.
This time I am honestly excited to give 13.1 another run for it’s money. The race this past Sunday gave me confidence in my abilities as a runner and it made me proud.
And hell, if I can simply continue to maintain my mileage this fall and into another half marathon, why not, right? Sort of like one training cycle for the price of two, yeah?
Ridiculous? Yes/No?
So the race I’m looking at? It’s on October 23 in Newburyport which is about 30 minutes from where I live and is beautiful. And after reading this overview of the Green Stride Newburyport Half Marathon – how can you*not* want to sign up for it?
The race director and his wife have been active in the racing community for years at both the top levels….and the mid pack levels. This ensures you that they have worked diligiently to make sure that this race is full of awesomeness for all levels of runners. So, really it should be named “The Awesome Newburyport Half Marathon”, but we’ll let you decide. In fact it is so awesome, we are totally expecting the dictionary to change the definition of “Awesome” to “the newburyport half marathon” in their next edition. So, ya. This is an awesome race. You should enter it.
Um yeah, an awesome race? An awesome race that also happens to be deemed a “flat and fast” course??
Sign. Me. Up.
Signed,
Ridiculous Runner (like whoa)
