I too have been thinking about my next race and...1) I'm almost certain it will be in PA (Erie, Presque Isle) 2) Erie is on Sept 11th! 3) I just ordered the Hansons book (uh oh, shit just got real!). I haven't put any money down yet (race registration), I did take that dip in the water by ordering that book. I figured, why not? I'm up for something new. I enjoy summer marathon training so much more than winter training, so hopefully it will be productive :) If you don't do well in Lehigh you could always run Harrisburg too. Yes, I'm being serious!!Lisa @ TechChick Adventureshttp://www.techchickadventures.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-72126815763238341112016-04-28T08:50:07.596-04:002016-04-28T08:50:07.596-04:00Thanks Karen. :) The beginner looks too easy and a...Thanks Karen. :) The beginner looks too easy and advanced looks too hard.

I know what you mean about wanting it now... why not take advantage of that energy and desire you have to run. Plus, not you get to do some great training this summer when you don't have to worry about work. How nice is that!? I think you are completely capable of attaining your goal. Hopefully I will see you in Boston next year! :)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749992004731099306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-1151565017894363102016-04-27T15:18:12.249-04:002016-04-27T15:18:12.249-04:00I am definitely worried about the weather, but hop...I am definitely worried about the weather, but hopefully like you said I will be used to it by then.

It is a very flat course and enjoyable. I know a lot of people who run the full PR there. The weather can be tricky that early in PA so you never know what you might get but if you train through the summer you already know you can run in the hottest most humid conditions! I think this will be the perfect course for you ! So excited to follow your training.

The first week of even the adv. plan is really not bad as it doesn't start until Wed and it is a rest day ahahaha. So I have 19 days between my race and my first actual training run... and about a week after that until any speed training. So that is good. But YAH technically it is soon!Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-64784513973796672032016-04-27T10:31:29.907-04:002016-04-27T10:31:29.907-04:00lol I only mentioned the teacher thing because of ...lol I only mentioned the teacher thing because of my color coding. :)Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-6803154666439111932016-04-27T10:31:06.478-04:002016-04-27T10:31:06.478-04:00lol I know $125 is not that much, I am just a tigh...lol I know $125 is not that much, I am just a tight wad when it comes to races. I better register soon or the price will go up even more! The only reason I am scared of the adv. plan is the amount of mileage BUT that is the whole point and I think I am ready to try it. I would LOVE to get the lay of the land with you this summer! Maybe we can time up your recovery runs with my RP runs so I am not slowing you down and we both get an effective workout. I am really excited to hear what fall marathon you are doing. :)Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-40237453172951383522016-04-27T10:25:49.880-04:002016-04-27T10:25:49.880-04:00That is what I am hoping for. :)That is what I am hoping for. :)Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-34368248437626680232016-04-27T10:21:40.490-04:002016-04-27T10:21:40.490-04:00TECHNICALLY Via is cheap AND should not cause you ...TECHNICALLY Via is cheap AND should not cause you travel anxiety BECAUSE you can cut your trip costs by staying with MEEEE. AND you can eliminate anxiety by coming to visit this summer and getting the lay of the land!!! I am actually going to run the half that day, 90% sure - so we will allll be racing! This development happened when I chose my fall marathon, which I will post abut soon ;) ANYWAY. I know you are set on via but I give VIA one more vote, and I also vote advanced plan. And I vote training runs at my house with poolside recovery.
