I just had this awesome thought: I am turning 26 later this year, how awesome it would be to run a marathon on my birthday. 26 miles on 26th birthday.
Too bad my b-day falls on Monday and that I have no wish to run a marathon and screw my knee again.
I guess I will wait till 2026, and do 42 on 42:) It falls on Sunday, so it is feasible.

In the ultrarunning world, it's become a rite of passage to run 50 miles on one's 50th birthday - I checked; mine's on a Monday (a few years away).
ReplyDeleteI've stopped by here a couple of times before, starting from Sea Legs Girl's blog, but I just had to say hi after reading your last comment. I didn't say a word yesterday; it wasn't planned - just turned out that way.
I think you may be onto something and perhaps the start of a great new tradition. But wow, a 32 mile training run for me next year? Wild! Let us know if you can fit in the 26.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday one day early!
New tradition....maybe. But if I do that I think I am going to keep it in kilometers.
ReplyDeleteSLG, my birthday is in November:)
