I am officially registered for the Columbus Marathon, scheduled for October 19th. I am excited right now. My body has long forgotten the torture of the last marathon I ran (when I was feeling great and strong up until mile 22 and then completely fell apart...or wait, maybe I do remember it.). I think I'll be in a lot better place this time around, after a summer of cross training and a race of 70.3 miles. After that 26.2 will be a piece of cake, right?
I was completely shocked this morning to find that all of the hotels in downtown Columbus are already booked for that weekend, even outside of the event blocks. Yikes. I'm glad finding a room was on my list now, otherwise who knows where we'd be staying. We ended up with a room by the airport, which means a drive to the start but only 4.5 miles versus the 3 hours or more from home it would be on race morning.
For now though, it's on the back burner.

Friday-Saturday June 6-7th Ragnar Relay Chicago
Sunday July 20th Ironman 70.3 Racine
