A fellow blogger, Cook Train Eat Race, put together an online Marathon challenging the online world to get active, get moving… and run a marathon (or half).
The kicker was you had to cover the distance of a marathon (or half) over the course of TWO weeks.
A few of my friends and I decided to take on this challenge and run the cupcake marathon. I was ambitious and signed up for the FULL marathon (26.2 miles in two weeks).
This decision was made BEFORE the rain and wind storms blew in northern California. Needless to say, MOST of my runs were in the rain, cold, and WICKED WIND that we have been bombarded with the past 2 weeks. But I can say that I finished. I finished STRONG. I did it.
Below are my run stats from the past two weeks.
Total Miles: 28.39
I heard a rumor that they are thinking about doing a PIZZA TRI!! I have always wanted to do a triathalon… and would love to try a tri with this group in the fall!
Awe.Some!
I’m going to do a recap post too 🙂
What a fantastic idea! Congratulations on sticking with it through the bad weather.
Great job Rachel!! I’m impressed with how you manage to get out and run despite having 3 kids – you’re awesome!!
Thank you! I love a good challenge to help motivate me and CHALLENGE me to get it done! 🙂
I have always wanted to do a tri too ~ this might be the best way for me to actually get it done. I can’t wait to hear more about it!
