Since running the woman's 1/2 people keep asking me if I have a marathon on my mind. I feel absolutely confident in saying: "no". I really like the 1/2 marathon distance and I'd like to run several more in order to improve my 1/2 marathon race rather than trying to double the distance. I don't have any particular race in mind for the spring, but may try to run another one in April/May.
Before then, I have convinced my mom to start training with me for her first 5K! We're going to do the Tempe SkirtChaser 5K sponsored by SkirtSports. My mom is a life-long exerciser, but has not really pushed her cardio beyond moderate to light exercise in several years. But she's in good shape, I know she can do a 5K, and I think the training and sense of accomplishment would do her good. I'm going to set her up on one of the Galloway walk/run plans- joint protection and injury prevention are the key words in her training. Hopefully we'll be set up as training partners on Daily Mile or SkirtSports KickitForward and I'll be able to post updates on both of our progress.
The next big goal is to then do a 5K with my mom and sister in the later spring, and/or a 10K with my sister.
Both my mom and sister have been inspired by my own conversion into running and I'm excited to introduce them to the sport.
