Well, looks like
we are adding another marathon to the calendar.
More info
The wife is running a HM this weekend and is looking at this race for February. Her reasons make sense. First, she's getting a coach for the first time and trying it out to see if it helps. Second, she wants to train over the colder months instead of the summer. Third, this race is a downhill race (half the decline as J&J), so it'll give her a preview of what it's like as well as a chance to run a marathon without all the pressure to BQ. Fourth, it's a little vacation time to get away. Fifth, it's supposedly a beautiful course as well.
As for me, I don't know what I should do with that. I actually wouldn't mind running it but I absolutely do not have enough time to train. I'm hoping to be able to start running again by the beginning of November, but even that will be at least a month just getting back into things, which leaves me only 2 months to train. That said, being a downhill race, I think I could get through it if I just focus on volume and long runs over the winter.
Thoughts?
