I registered for the Country Music Marathon..... April 30th. That gives me about 5 weeks
4 weeks of training + 1 taper week
Hmmmm. Not sure I thought that all the way through. I've been running pretty consistently, just not really anything marathon training worthy. I have been getting long-ish runs in on the weekends, but nothing like I did when I trained for Rocket City back in December. This will be marathon #2 for me. I'm not expecting a spectacular finish time, but I think it will be good to have the experience of another marathon under my belt.
Last year I ran the Country Music Half HERE, and it was pretty hilly. Time to start hill training.
This is the elevation chart:

| I'm glad I didn't look at that before I registered... |
Think I'll hit the hills tonight!
Anyone have a last minute marathon training plan that works for them?
Please share!!!
Finally..here are a couple pics from the Delano 12 hour
