Not even three weeks after completing my first marathon...I've signed up for a second! On May 2, 2010 I will run in the Eugene Marathon. Known as "Track Town USA", Eugene is a world-famous "Mecca" for runners. We even get to run our finishing lap around Hayward Field.
My biggest goal for this marathon is to get FASTER. I think I can probably shave off about 15 minutes from last time, 20-30 if Coach Glen can really push me. Looks like it is time to take those tempo runs more seriously. The good thing about this location is that it is flat! The course only has one, quarter-mile hill during the 7th mile. This alone will allow me to run more and walk less. And I need to remember that salt is just as important to replenish as electrolytes.
I feel pretty confident that with one marathon under my belt and my base of knowledge and training from last time that this is going to be a great season!
