As we are wrapping up this month of May, I wanted to come on here and give you a little ½ marathon race recap since I ran the 10th Annual Badass Texas ½ marathon in Waco, TX last weekend. It was by far the most difficult race course I have ever run, and the hot weather made it extra challenging. As I am just a few weeks away from my goal race, Grandma's marathon, today I take you down a bit of a memory lane with my previous 6 full marathons and talk A, B, and C goals for race day.

I hope you enjoy this little chat on your run, walk, or drive today, and remember that you too can do hard things!

As a slower runner, or really just an average runner, these last couple of long runs got me thinking about all the things that us 5-7 hour marathoners have to deal with that faster runners don’t. Yes, we are running the same miles over the same course, but the difference between spending 3 or 4 hours on your feet versus 5-7 hours can be vastly different. Slower paces don’t necessarily mean less effort. In fact, us slower runners are out there much longer and definitely managing more challenges as we make our way to the finish line.

Today, we're talking about 10 things that us back of the pack marathoners have to think about that faster runners often don't.

And if you're not a marathoner yet, and are worried about being too slow, know that all paces and times are worth celebrating! All runners count!
