Not so fast my friend......okay really.....not so fast! So yesterday was absolutely ridiculous. Ridiculous to think I could do it again this year. Last year, I accomplished three marathons in eight days. NYC on Sunday, celebrated my 52nd birthday on Friday. RVA on the following Saturday and OBX the very next day. The hopes to accomplish this twice, at least the two back to back was more than I could handle. Richmond last year was nearly my best time ever…..by a freakin 13 s

So what does one do for their birthday? Run a marathon of course! Happy birthday to me! My schedule has been crazy and I’ve been running all over…..unfortunately not running on my feet but rather work related. I drove 1,500 miles the previous weekend. Well, here I am. In Richmond doing this race again. Last year I had a strong finish……last year I was healthier, weighed less, trained more. Different story this year. November 10, my 53rd birthday and I’m celebrating my 35th m
