I'm not sure I could wear it, LOL.Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17572556245744093363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-6390046953614183632015-10-05T20:40:21.401-05:002015-10-05T20:40:21.401-05:00The relay was a blast!

I know so many people who are afraid of committing to a full marathon, but a relay is definitely a great option ;-)Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-85654006008506925732015-10-05T20:39:04.015-05:002015-10-05T20:39:04.015-05:00I can relate to wanting to do different races.

I had a very special "first time" experience, too ;-) Maybe I'll see you at QC next year (?), I already have a relay team committed, and am planning on doing the 13.1 as well. Happy running!!

Looks like one that I'm going to need to reconsider :D I don't know if I'll ever get to return to my first marathon, and I don't know if I would want to, at least not for a long time. Running MCM was just so special for so many reasons. The only race course I've ever done twice is the Women's half here in Chicago--I like to keep my races special, or maybe I just like to not know exactly where I'm going? hahaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260595416987210214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-29739697843433379852015-10-04T07:02:59.084-05:002015-10-04T07:02:59.084-05:00This looks like fun!

And really, I don't have anything left to prove to myself. <br /><br />And to answer your question, yes, I have returned to the course of my first marathon! this will be #3!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.com
