I looked around and that
I looked around and that seems to be the last of the marathons for Minnesota until the indoor marathon (blech) in Jan (which is already filled).
As gung-ho as I felt about this at the beginning of the week I'm feeling like it's a little soon to be thinking of this (considering I'd dropped my goals for running my usual fall half marathons because of this injury LOL). SayPay, you just got me so excited about the prospect. Though maybe we should shoot for a spring full together, since that 'll give me more time to get there..and I'll just shoot for a personal full in the meantime (though running for 4-5hrs in winter here seems a little daunting LOL).
Jimmy, thanks for your professional input. I'll make those changes and depending on how things go (and I can tell that with extra zumba I've been getting in this week, my foot is already sore..I may not bounce back as quickly as I'd hoped and 15 weeks is already cutting it short. If I extend my training program to say 18-20weeks, would that be better for a beginning (I'd start in probably Jan or so for a spring marathon I think).
At any rate, it's great to have feedback from you experienced marathoners, keep you posted on whether or not this thing is a go.
