What now?

So, next weekend, I will run my marathon. To be honest, it will be just to get it out of the way now. Run for survival, hopefully in 5 hours or less. You are more than welcome to come run some or all of it with me!

On May 22nd, I am running the Woody’s Marathon, half marathon in Red Deer, and the weekend following, I am volunteering for the Calgary Marathon weekend.

After that. I don’t know what to do. Maybe you can tell me. In a radius of about 200 kms from Calgary, preferably with decent camping, I am available to go and run races! Do you recommend anything?

Local Runners: What races do you like, and why?

Race Directors: Are you interested in some blog love here? I am not opposed to sponsored races, in return for writing some lead up stories as well as (obviously) the race report, complete with pics and videos. I can also create race badges to put on this here blog…

Product Makers: I can use and advertise your products (if I like them) here and at races, let me know if you are interested.

I would probably prefer not to run another marathon this year, but anything less than that distance, and I am game. Trail, road, mountains, prairies, it doesn’t really matter to me, I just love to race!

That’s all, Happy Easter to everyone!

    I'm just looking forward to getting the marathon over with so I can get on with training for the things I'm really looking forward to (like the 12-hour adventure race in September...that should be Waaaaayyyy easier than a marathon, right? :))

    Hi Neil...first, thanks for the encouragement. I wanted to respond to your comment about advil. You're right to be surprised, this PT clinic is not pro advil and I was surprised too. So, good call :) ...the reason she actually suggested it, is because the inflammation was not reducing at all after 2 weeks. There was still swelling and pain and she reluctantly decided it was time to give ibuprofen a try. At least for a few days. It is definitely helping, but I'm still not allowed to run at all. Just wanted to let you know :)

    Good luck in your marathon next week!

    If you ever feel like coming to Minnesota, I can suggest lots of races for you to do. :)
