part one of my plan for more motivation to run

[marathoner452]

Check is written for the Main Street Mile training program called Flying Feet. We'll meet every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at Winter's Mill High School from 3/11 until 4/19, the day of the race. Should help with motivation for speedwork in addition to providing me with some new long run routes.

The Frederick Marathon is organizing some course runs from Harry Grove Stadium, where the race begins and ends. I'll be running at most the 5k the night before the marathon (and probably volunteering race day) and they also start at 7 am all the way out in Frederick (so impossibly far :P), but once again, motivation and a chance to run someplace new. The remaining runs are 3/19 and 4/9, both Sunday mornings.

Then there are always long runs with the NCR Trail Snails to look forward to, complete with bagels at The Bagel Stop in Cockeysville.

Things are definitely looking up.

I am so in awe of you. I wish that my (writing) fingers moved as fast and as much as your feet did. *grin*

It's the Olympics. It's impossible for me to watch athletics so at the top of their sport and not be inspired to work harder at mine.

Thanks. :-)

Athletes at the top of their sport, that is. I should have learned by now not to type when I'm tired, read when I got up at 5 that morning.

You're gonna be so ready for NCR, it isn't even funny. I'm with you all the way. :-)

I'll be esp. ready if we don't have a bad hurricane season. I found out this morning that I'm the first to go from the office if they need anyone through the DSHR system. I'm still trying to figure out how working in disaster relief meshes with becoming a more competitive runner.

Thanks for the vote of confidence though.

Well, like you said yesterday, August and beyond is for marathon training season. You'll be ready.

And the votes of confidence abound from me, you know that. :-)
