Lexington Half Marathon


My next race is going to be the Lexington Half Marathon. I am so excited about this one. I live just minutes from Lexington (Ky) and I am thrilled I will be able to sleep in my own bed the night before. I think this is the first race over a 10K where I have been able to do that. I always travel to my races and end up on a friends couch/floor or a hotel room. I have several girl friends from the Y (trained for the Tri with these lovely ladies) who have been training and are also running this half. For most of them, it's their first half. It has been so exciting for me to watch them turn into runners... (not that they love/like it) The race is March 28Th, and I am very excited to get out there and do my thing. I also need to decide which Full marathons I will be running this year. Not exactly sure why I haven't done this yet, but it's partly because I am just lazy. :) I think I will do the Kentucky Derby Full marathon again at the end of April, but I know I am way behind on my miles and where I should be at this point.
huh, oh well. I will be fine.

I hate making decisions! Looks like you have at least one in the bag! I've only run one race (a 5K) that I got to sleep in my own bed! Very Appealing! Good luck the next couple of weeks!

Close to home races!! I love sleeping in my own bed, doing my usual routine, eating MY food. The stress is so low comparatively!
