Happy Marathon Weekend!

It’s here! It’s here!

I’m so so excited for marathon weekend! I’m probably only this excited, though, because I’m not running the marathon. :)

I’m actually registered for the half, but I think I might downgrade to the 10k so I can run with J. I actually haven’t been running much since the Glass City half and have been on a little “running hiatus”. I’m not out to kill this race, or PR, or any of that. I just want to enjoy the excitement of race day and focus on cheering everyone else on!

I get so emotional watching marathons but, like I mentioned yesterday, Cleveland just kills me. The memories from this weekend 2 years ago all come flooding back and I get so weepy.

p.s. Look how little C looks!

It was such an amazing day. One of those days that everyone should get to experience.

So good luck to all the runners this weekend! I wish everyone a day filled with joy, confidence, spandex, Body Glide, and sweat – lots and lots of sweat. :)

Be on the lookout for me. I’ll be the crazy lady screaming my face off (so make sure your name is on your shirt!).

Do you love marathon weekend in your town??

    So fun. Hope you enjoy it. Charleston doesn’t really have a big deal race weekend- we totally should.

    I’m usually out to see part of it at some point or another. It really is exciting to watch- even if you don’t know anyone running! Have fun this weekend!

    I know I am way more excited for this weekend than I was for the Towpath and Disney. There is something about running all over Cleveland that I cannot explain. I’ll be looking for you in my BRIGHT yellow and pink. Have fun this weekend and good luck in whichever race you run :)

    You look so happy in those pictures. Marathon weekend in our city is pretty big – and it keeps getting bigger each year. So much energy.

    Exciting! We don’t have a marathon in Utica but we do have the Boilermaker 15K. It all starts on Friday, culminating in the biggest city party on Sunday after the Boilermaker. So much fun!

    At McMillans camp last week, there was one gal getting her “redemption” race in from Boston by doing the Cleveland Marathon. She was hoping for a 3:12 – 3:15 I think. Wish I could be there.
    You’re right – So much more fun when you’re spectating or should I say at least there is a lot less pressure.
