We Just Might be Certifiable

Why not run yet one more marathon before the end of the year?! Doug, Karen and I are thinking about Run for the Ranch Marathon. I think it's a kinda quirky marathon. It's a 3 mile loop. So for the marathon, it would be 8 loops plus a little out and back. Why not? Could be kinda fun. It also starts at 2:30 in the afternoon (with an early start of noon)-my kinda start time. That will be nice cuz then we can drive down from home that day (about a 3 hour drive) and then drive back home after the marathon.

We're being whimpy and holding off to see what the weather will be. If it's a blizzard, we're not going to bother. But if it's nice, I'm certain we'll be running one last marathon in 2008-as if 8 marathons in 1 year isn't enough! Don't even get me near the Funny Farm...I'm afraid they would drag me in.

  8. Sounds like an ideal marathon for spectators, you can have your crew there cheering for you repeatedly.

  10. Eight marathons! You guys are crazy, but fun. Can't wait to hear what you decide on. A 2:30 start does allow for some good sleep the night before.

  11. Sounds interesting. I do like the 2:30 start and the fact that I could pass my kids multiple times. I'll be filing that one away for a future year.
