Coming clean...I couldn't help myself...

Ok, I messed up.  I went against the EN outseason no Marathon advice.  I just couldn't help myself.  I didn't train for it though (if that makes it better).  I'm in the Nov outseason, so I basically did it on 5 weeks of the Outseason.  I ran in the California International Marathon in Sacramento last weekend. I had a plan to remind me to not take it too seriously though...

 

The race started right by the Folsom prison... The one in the Johnny Cash song and finished at the California capital in Sacramento.  I got more cheers than anyone.  I was fun.  I didn't run too hard.  Practiced my Ironman walk/jog the last 4 miles.  I just had to come clean.  2 weeks off and then back to the Nov. Outseason.  1 week out, I feel great!

    Nicely done! Great way to remind yourself not to take the race too seriously- I've used that trick before myself. Maybe now you'll be able to "Walk the line". :-)

    BTW- Love that song!

    @Nemo - Funny!

    Good job, Peter.  A nice year to be on that course.  Last year it was 26 at the start.

    Let's ride soon.

    Good one, Nemo.

    Nice! We're glad you fessed up. Way to not crush yourself too!

    Oh, and what are you carrying in that left most pic? It looks like a bag of Reece's pieces!

    @olivia - Naw nothing that exciting... Just a Gatorade bottle. My wife was nice enough to hand me a fresh one a couple of times.
    @john- Yeah, I froze last year. 27 and the 25mph wind. It really sucked last year.
