The Countdown Is On! January 19, 2007

Digg! this story.

I visited the OKC Marathon site today and it hit me quite abruptly: It’s less than 100 days now (99 days, 12 hours, 18 minutes and 30 seconds when I checked) until my friend “Nordictwin” and I run our first marathon!
Nordictwin, will we be ready? I’m feeling a little less than ready since the weather kept me from my normal running routine, but I slid through a 4 miler yesterday evening and it felt really good (the running, not the sliding). I hope to do a 10 miler again on Saturday or Sunday, but we’re supposed to have 5-10 inches of snow this weekend. Snow…much better than the ice we’ve had the last week.
Less than 100 days! I’m getting excited!

Nice, my 10k is 14 days away from tomorrow, that seems way sooner than it should be. Plus I think I’m getting sick, so that may leave me not wanting to do it at all.
Just think you’ll probably run 300-400 miles before the marathon still, that’s a lot of practice.
We have been running in snow and slush up here in Seattle too. I am looking forward to Spring and training for the Portland Marathon in October.
Good luck with OKC!
We will be ready. You are ready! The snow will soon melt and the miles will pile up. Keep up the good “work”!
So…I get a free t-shirt after spending $81 bucks. Get to pick it up in a few months, we’ll see how that goes.
Eric-so this isn’t for your 10K on the 3rd? Which other race did you enter?
I figured I needed some motivation to keep running…and since there aren’t really any decent half marathons in the area coming up…I’m going to try to attempt one of my life goals. June 3rd is the day.
