  • I do have that flagged as a NY option but for some reason it’s not on my radar for next year.

    I do 100% have to do steamtown as my PA race because of my namesake (I promise to sing to song to everyone as I roll down the hill) plus my partner does like trains so we can visit the historic park.

    The nice thing with Baltimore is I could take the train there, no driving or flying! And I would get a crab medal to go with my lobster claw medal from this year.



  • Define scenic? Right now I’m debating next fall’s marathon (I know I’m planning super far out it’s what I do) so currently I’m thinking between duke city, twin cities, Richmond (VA), Detroit, Baltimore and Steamtown for next fall. Twin and duke I would have to fly to but I have friends that live there so I might be able to wrangle free lodging not sure about lodging for the rest though, but I’m not closed to considering other fall marathons for next year.







  • Start by just going out for walks when it snows so you start learning how the snow and weather and surface treatments all react and you start learning how to read the surface, I live in a fairly snowy area and there’s really only a few days a year when it’s so bad that i skip runs. Also trail shoes help.

    My other tips are to never go up a hill your uncertain of going down and slow walk tight corners.


  • Yep one week into taper, two to go! I’m happy with the training I’ve gotten in considering the short turnaround time, I’m still trying to decide if I should do one last speed workout this week and just make it less intervals or call it good on the speed work? Since I’m new to the speed work part of training I keep forgetting to look up at what point in the taper people drop it.
