I am nervous and excited for this next year of running and racing. The most exciting thing, by far, is the NYC Marathon in November. It will be my second marathon and my first NYC Marathon. I am looking forward to training for it, but it's been so long since I've run so much, so I am also nervous. The difference now from when I was training for my last marathon, is that I started training having only run a 5k. I was such a new runner, that it was all totally new to me. This year, I am stronger, I know better, and it will be awesome. I plan to shave at least an hour off my initial marathon time, and maybe more.
I'm also planning on doing the Grand Prix of half marathons in NY, a couple of small relays, other races, and a huge relay in May. It's a new year of running. And it's time to take it up several notches. Ready, set....
