Sunday, December 8, 2013 is marathon day in Dallas! Yes gang, that's 16 weeks away! Time to start training!! The White Rock Marathon is now The Dallas Marathon, but in our little world will always be referred to as "White Rock". I have lots of great memories there including my PR at the distance. The course keeps changing with the name, as well as where it starts; but to me its still my favorite hometown race!
I ran 10 miles around Grapevine Lake this morning and realized I am in pretty sad marathon shape after a lazy summer of sprint triathlons. So here we go again.....marathon training! Who's with me?

I'm thinking that I need a warm up race as well, so I'm also going to pencil in the DRC Half. This was also formerly known as "The Half" and its course has changed numerous times to include a sadistic hill one year, then it was gone the next! The DRC Half is a great local race and is usually quite the running party! Sunday, November 3, 2013 is the DRC Half. Come join me and my peeps!

Of course, we also need a few little races along the way, so I'm also choosing to run The LGRAW Double Trouble 5K/10K race on October 5, 2013. This is a cool little race right here in Grapevine! The fun part is that you can actually run both the 5K then the 10K. Think of it as a speed workout, warm up with a 5K and then pound the 10K. Or race the 5K and use the 10K as a warm down. It's a well run home town race and is just plain fun! Come out and join the club!

Sounds like a fun filled Fall season! We will probably sprinkle in a few sprint triathlons as well, but focus will be on the marathon! 2014 is back to Ironman training with Ironman Texas looming on the horizon on May 17, 2014. Let's get back into marathon shape before we focus on 140.6!
