Mixed Bag
So, a bunch of my friends and I decided we needed to do another marathon this fall. For me, mostly because my pants feel tight and nothing scares me enough to make me get in shape like a marathon does. We all threw our hats in the ring for New York. Sadly, only 2/4 got in. I was luckily one of them. But, I am bummed as I had hoped the entire group got in...because that would be fun! My new plan is to defer to 2010 and do TC Marathon this year with the hopes they would again try to get in next year. Although that would mean three marathons in two years (ironman, TC and NY). Oy. I think after that, I am taking a break and reverting back to the 5k's and sprint tri's as just reading this makes me tired.

Congrats on getting in to NYC. In 2007 Mike did TCM and then NYC and he was fine even though it was only 5 weeks in between. Hopefully your friends will get in for 2010. You guys will have a great time!
Oy is right!
I say do TCM! I'm not part of a group or training team. I just can't schedule my time to run every M/W at 6 or whatever.
I'll probably end up doing a good number of long runs with Pharmie though..so I guess you could call us a training team.
Congrats on getting into NYC!
HEY! That is three marathons over two calendar years, so it is really only ONE marathon this year and ONE marathon next year because that third on is part of IM MOO.
Just trying to calm you down there, Nat...
Start saving money now...
Yay for TC Marathon! I am so not ready to do any sort of marathons yet, but my family and I have talked about doing the TC 10-miler that weekend! We'll see.
My sister and I have also talked about doing the Irongirl in September... it's 2 mile run, 22 mile bike, then 2 mile run again. Should be fun!
