I know, I know. I said I was going to drop it. I wish there were a few more fun big marathons in New England in late November/December. It’s still nice out in December nowadays.
Pros
Wanted to do it for three years
In decent running shape already
Could probably pr again
Training structure in my life
Burn fall weather calories
Maintain current weight/size
Have an adventure
The weather has been perfect out
Philly is fun
I hate not having a race
I could also just do it for fun
Trump could get us all killed before I hit all my bucket list races. I’m not being smug if you know me this is a real fear that that guy is gonna get me killed and I wouldn’t have finished living my life
Cons
The trip including race hotel and travel would cost at least $500, and the crossfit L1 was already $800
Could get hurt from pushing trying to PR again
Sort of sick of running
Would have to do my 20 miler next weekend then taper
Would have to cut down on yoga some more
Could use some random time to calm my brain
Brainstorms for races-
Providence May 2017 (would start training in January)
San Francisco in late July (it just looks fun lol this isn’t certain)
Chicago and/or New York in the fall- Josh says I should do Lehigh again and race against my time there- Chicago was expensive too… but if I run a small race I’d rather try something new.
Boston next spring
Los Angeles is in December but that would be expensive though too.
Or fuck it all and run half marathons and 10k’s and do yoga lol.
Fuck it all and just do yoga and some crossfit maybe 5k’s
