We all knew it was coming...

I did a lot of hemming and hawing over the Austin marathon: should I run the whole? would it be better to do the half? Maybe I should. Maybe I shouldn't.
When in reality I probably made up my mind about it a week after Marine Corps. But then tendinitis wouldn't go away. And then early registration passed. But I couldn't bring myself to just sign up for the half marathon. Then I got the drugs (e.g. cortisone shot) and my ankle feels A..Mazing! So on Monday Allison, aka pancakes, and I signed up for the full marathon.
Am I crazy? Probably. Will I hit the five hour mark I'm hoping for? Probably not. Will it be worth it? It always is :)

I did seven miles of speed work yesterday. I thought I was going to be sick at the end. That's a lot of sprinting! But it felt good overall.
This weekend is the Houston half marathon. Then I have a 21 mile run (which will probably only be 18 for me since my longest run since Marine Corps has been 15 miles.) Then an 8 mile run, a 6 mile run and then the marathon!! I'm completely jazzed!
