I’m struggling with what I want to do for my next marathon. I originally thought I would go back to Michigan and run in a marathon in Traverse City in May, but now I’m leaning towards the Colfax Marathon. They changed the course a bit for next year and it may actually be somewhat of an easy run. It’s still at high altitude, but the course is mainly flat with few elevation changes. I also know many other runners that will be running this one and it’s always nice to see some familiar faces when you’re out there running. They also have a deal going until the end of the month whereas you sign up and a friend can sign up for free! I asked a few runners that I know if they want to do that, but so far no takers.
I ran 12 miles Saturday morning and, Oh my gosh! It was cold! When I started out, it was 4 degrees, and by the end of my run, it was close to 20. At least the sun was out! I also had to wear my Yaktrax since there is snow on the ground
We had an office party the other night and my crew bought me a light to wear around my head when I’m running for my present. I can’t wait to try it out. It’s tough running these days because it’s dark when I go running after work and I really don’t want to go indoors yet and run on the treadmill. I’m hoping the light keeps me from running into trees anymore.
I was diagnosed with MS about 4 years ago and I am one of the lucky ones. I don't have too many problems associated with it, and the disease has actually slowed down. I took up running 3 years ago just to see if I could do it. So far I've run 3 marathons in a year and a half.
