Saturday, April 1st began my first workout with my coach! I’ll talk more about my coach and why I decided to go that route in another post, but for now, the BQ train has begun its 6 month voyage to ST. GEORGE MARATHON!!!
I laced up my special edition Boston Marathon Newton Fates and joined a friend for an early 8 miler on Saturday. I’d had these shoes in my closet for over year–telling myself then that I’d only bring them out when I decided to train for a Boston Qualifier. A year ago, I *never* thought I’d attempt it. I seriously can’t believe that I’m signed up to actually try for it!
Eye on the Prize
I hope you join me on this crazy, new journey!! I’ll be documenting my workouts and commitment to healthier eating (OMG) here and hope that having this blog/outlet helps with accountability.
EEEEEP!!!!
I just signed up for St. George today! I was going to run a marathon this spring, but after an injury, I’m committed to a fall one instead. Can’t wait to follow your training and maybe I’ll see you out there!
Yay!!!!! Yes, a meet-up must happen!!
I just fastened my 5-point harness. I’m READY FOR THIS TRAIN TO LEAVE THE STATION!!! And I am very intrigued to hear about your coach. With or without one, I KNOW you will BQ. Such exciting stuff!!! xoxoxoxo
XOXOXOXO!!!
So exciting. I love those new shoes. Best motivation to get started!
Right??!! 😀
Yay! Can’t wait to follow along!
Thanks, Courtney!!
Good luck with your training! Excited for you!!
Thank you!! ❤
Good luck! Lots of love and positive thoughts sent your way!
that is awesome…looking forward to following your next journey – i’ll be staying tuned and cheering you along!!
Game face on, go get it!
Yeeeeeeeee! So excited for you!!!!
I am so excited to follow your journey! I can’t wait see you crush St George. That is a bucket list race for me so I’m kind of jealous!! LOL You got this girl!
Woo hoo! Looking forward to following along!
I found your blog on Suzy’s. I love that you got Boston edition shoes and planned to bring them out specifically to train for your BQ marathon. I actually just got a pair of shoes (different ones) in a Boston color/theme and am now considering this same idea…
DO IT!!!!!
YAS! I’m 9 months out from a BQ attempt. I will be taking in as much of your training as I can.
Yay!!! Go us!!! ❤
Yay! Go get it! And when you visit St George make sure to head over to Zion National Park. Snow Canyon State Park is amazing and I think the course goes through it.
Yes, Snow Canyon is on the course!! I can’t wait!
