Roxymama's 5k to Marathon, Time to Collect Another Castle

[FredtheDuck]

Yay!!!! I'm so excited to follow along and watch you nail such a big goal!

 

[run.minnie.miles]

This makes me so happy!! Add me to your long list of cheerleaders! (although you should already know that )

 

[DopeyBadger]

Time to PROVE IT.

Time to PROVE IT.

Ok if you say so!
Goal 24:32 with 12:16 pace. 1/2 hit
Right on the nose first mile. Got a lil ahead of myself second mile but not by too much.


This 8:00 was probably when I was crossing the street to go home and avoiding being smooshed.
As you can see...a normal first day dance of all over the place pace . (And a shoe tie pause)



Day one down.

 

[DopeyBadger]

Only 158 days to go!

 

[AuntieBean]

I’m excited to help play dolls with Roxykiddo to help your race training!!

 

[KSellers88]

LOL, glad you didn't get smooshed. I always refer to it as playing Frogger, anybody remember that game??

 

[cavepig]

Great half recap & race (I"m slow at reading these journals)! Pixie dust power for your Chicago training!

 

[rteetz]

Awesome sauce! Wish I was running with you all!

 

[sourire]

Cheering you on and following along.

Nailing my big goal will be crossing the finish line, so I hope that happens!

I'll take any and all cheerleaders...especially once those multiple hour runs start popping up on the schedule.

Only 158 days to go!

That both feels like a lot of days and not a lot of days at the same time!

I’m excited to help play dolls with Roxykiddo to help your race training!!

She's already got color coordinated piles of tsum tsums on the floor and a microphone set out in the living room for your arrival.

LOL, glad you didn't get smooshed. I always refer to it as playing Frogger, anybody remember that game??

Yes, I remember Frogger! I was never great at it, so maybe I should be more careful out on the real streets!

Great half recap & race (I"m slow at reading these journals)! Pixie dust power for your Chicago training!

Thanks!...Pixie dust is a performance enhancer for sure.

I do too! We will need to do some kind of midwest meetup again after Chicago at some point.

Cheering you on and following along.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will all just have to enter the lottery again in November for next year's race.

At what point after a marathon do you switch from the "never again" to the "maybe again" frame of mind and will it be by November or later?

Less than 24 hours

Most of the time, this!

Yep... right after you’ll say no way. Then it’s all in again.
