If you didn't catch my pun... I have registered for the Fargo Marathon! The Fargo Marathon will be held on Saturday, May 19, 2018 at 7:00 am. As of Sunday evening, I am officially registered. However, I am about 80% sure that I will be in that race. For the first time ever, I purchased the "Race Insurance" that allows me to get my money back (minus a fee) if I am unable to do the race. There is a piano event that same day and if my daughter qualifies for that, I will not be racing. We also have the potential for track meets that are yet to be scheduled. However, I need to start the training process so I will begin my training program next weekend and the rest is yet to be determined. When looking for a marathon, I decided on Fargo for these reasons. *It is in May. Let's face it... we can never predict the weather. However, I hope the weather will be good (that means less than 70 degrees). *There is a half marathon and a 10K that occur the same day as the marathon. I am strongly encouraging my husband to commit to one of those races and we can both participate. *It is a relatively flat course. *We will start and finish at the Fargo Dome. Having a large indoor space will be nice before and after the race. *Finishers receive a hoodie. In another blog, I will outline my training plan. It is an 18 week program that will begin on Saturday. Although I strictly follow the long run schedule, I have tailored the weekday runs to fit my schedule. Happy Running! -Stephanie
