I applied for an elite entry to Grandma's Marathon in June the day after Houston, haha! It's 20 weeks after Houston so I will do 2 weeks mostly off (I made it 4 days without running at all!) then an 18 week build. I enjoy the process so am looking forward to it, and I hope that having this build under my feet and adding a bit more mileage will do the trick! If not I'll probably go back to CIM in 2018...Sara Ibbetsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186583699282775885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958332915367030324.post-16281515387497095342018-01-19T17:17:01.502-08:002018-01-19T17:17:01.502-08:00I'm sorry I missed your long comment!

It’s hard to train and know you weren’t able to get your best out of the season (darn vertigo), but man still such a fast time!!!! 2 such fast marathons off one training cycle! I’m with you, I’d rather have a disappointing race than be left wondering, “what if.” I’m excited to hear what that next marathon you alluded to earlier is! I hope in the mean time you are getting some rest!Liz Runningmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437872032928853655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958332915367030324.post-41255864240557907432018-01-18T11:48:39.300-08:002018-01-18T11:48:39.300-08:00Ugh, I left a long comment and it disappeared.
