I completed my first workout during a business trip this morning, and I just REGISTERED for my first marathon! I'm in! From what I hear the MCM sells out very quickly, so lucky for me that I had it marked on my calendar and was able to register right away. I figure if I practice with the Team in Training, I can let someone else use their reserved tickets.
The workout this morning was pretty rough, mainly because of the altitude. I was walking fine, but I tried to run and got pretty dizzy. If you want to read more about how altitude affects the body and why this isn't a simple excuse, you can check out this Wikipedia article. Lorton is around 447 feet above sea level, and Santa Fe is 7000 feet. Liiiittle bitt of a difference there.
I am so pumped up about the marathon!!! 47 days to train before the half, and after I get back home the work situation will be significantly slowed. Plenty of time to run! WOOHOO! :-D
