Today I officially registered my team for the GO! St. Louis Relay Marathon. I find that there is no motivation quite like the fear of putting down money for a race to get you training hard! The marathon relay is exactly what it sounds like. A relay marathon. I don't know how many people ran track in high school/grades school/ever, but relays were always my personal favorite. The relay marathon is a bit longer than any relay that I've ever run. The marathon itself is the full 26.2 miles divided among four people. (although not equally) The first runner runs 6 miles. The second runner runs 7.5 miles. The third runs 7 miles and the fourth runs 6 miles. Now, I don't know if anyone noticed, that adds up to more than 26.2 miles and yes, I'm still trying to figure it out myself. I'm thinking that maybe one of those runners actually only runs slightly less or maybe its easier to block off 0.5 mile increments. Who knows?! Anyway, continuing on. Garrett did this run two years ago right before we got married and had a blast! I'm trying hard to get into shape before we move and big kid life really starts for us out in Las Vegas, so this is a stop on my fitness path for the year. I have 72 days to prepare for anywhere from 6-7.5 miles. I'm thinking I will hopefully get one of the 6 mile legs! I'm thinking that my SIL and I should get the 6 mile runs while her hubby and whoever our fourth actually ends up being should take the 7 and 7.5 mile legs...just a thought.
I have a training plan, so I'm on the right track. I think that after boards, I'm going to up my work outs and do a work out when I get home from work as well as in the morning. And the other reason for the madness is that I'm a bit scared of the dress for Lara's wedding. It's one of those things where when we tried it on, it was like a size 2 and that covered my left boob, so I don't truly have any idea how it will actually look like on me and that's why I'm nervous. The wedding is 127 days. So many things are going on and I want to look awesome, so bring on the sweat!
Until Next Time!
Lots of Love!!
