Training for my 4th Marathon

Tuesday, July 03, 2012

It doesn't even sound real! my 4th Marathon ??? CRAZY, but it's true...I'm training for the Houston Marathon in January 2013. It is an amazing race! I have only been running for 6 years, I had never run in my life until 6 years ago! Consistency is the key, I just kept doing it, and I still am running....on to number 4.
The Houston Marathon has become a very large race, there is a lottery to enter. If you have been fortunate enough to run it 5 times, you are considered a "veteran"....so that is my goal for now, i want to be a Veteran of the Houston Marathon! Also, after 5 marathons, you are guaranteed entry into the race....so that's my goal, and I am almost there!!

    That;s so cool! I am setting my sights back on the Louisiana Half in January 2013. I got derailed by the shingles 5 weeks out from the 2012 race and wasn't able to run at all because of neuralgia until late February this year. I'm doing the Firecracker 5K tomorrow morning in Shreveport. It's my first race since my layoff.

Good luck with your training!
Becca
