How We Celebrated Christmas.... I think the trash can adds so much to the photo Jill and me 

We went to St. Louis and saw Baron and Amelia We had our annual Christmas Eve dinner with Rob and Michelle My girl and me Michelle and Rob at dinner Ken and me We opened up our presents in our PJ's We played with our new toys

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Labels: Christmas, Friends


Selecting a Spring Marathon...

It is that time, time to figure out which marathon I will be running in the Spring.  I have been trying to avoid running the St. Louis Marathon again, but honestly, I think I have no choice.

Ken's work schedule is the busiest in the month of April and May, which is when most of the Spring marathons take place.  There are several that I want to run that I probably never will be able to unless I go without him.  This coming April, I am going to try to qualify for Boston, so I do not want to run it without him being there.

This really leaves me two choices:  the Olathe Marathon which would be local for me and the St. Louis Marathon.  Well, as much as I love Olathe, I cannot mentally run an out and back on a trail that I train on.  It sounds absolutely brutal.  I know it would be flat with rollers and I could have friends come and cheer, but this girl just cannot get excited about running in Olathe.

So, unless something else comes up, I will be signing up for the Go! St. Louis Marathon despite it not being my favorite marathon.  The postives:  I get to see my friend Laura, it is close by, I have run the course before, I get to see spectactors decked out in Cardinal gear, and the race is adding start corrals this year.  Hopefully, all of the things I disliked about last year will be better this year with the changes.

I have been in a bit of a build up phase, trying to run a long run of around 12 miles and doing speed work during the week.  I am really excited for training to begin!  Here is hoping for an under 3:40:59 marathon in April!
