After running with Big Sis, we joined a handful of her running friends at the local bagel shop. In no time, I was caught up on the injuries, life events, and running plans of many in the group. Not long after that, I was changing my marathon plans from California International (CIM) to the Portland Marathon.
I’m now registered and laying out the course for Plan P.
With the Big Sur marathon behind me, I’m thinking about my next marathon. Actually, I’m re-thinking things. I’d sort of planned to run CIM all along. But 21st Century Mom mentioned a new marathon in Camarillo, CA that has me reconsidering the plan.
Has any of you heard about this race? If so, do tell.
The Big Sur International Marathon (BSIM) course is no walk in the park. It’s TOUGH and demands a whole lot of personal strength and determination to get through it. I certainly knew that going in to it. I also knew that this course was breath taking and beyond words. I guess that’s why I’m having such a hard time writing this.
I mean, did you know that Runner’s World has ranked the BSIM in the top 3 marathons to run? Take it from me, it truly is that beautiful.
Tell me readers, does anyone else go through post-marathon depression? Okay, as depression goes, what I experience isn’t debilitating like true depression. The let down usually hits after the hype from marathon completion settles down. This is when I am left feeling empty and goal-less. But it’s more than that…
I guess you’re wondering what happened to Juls. Well, I’ll tell you. She ran a marathon and is really tired. Believe it or not, she’s actually too tired to blog. But don’t worry…she’ll be back soon.
You should know that she’s pretty pleased with herself right now because she ran hard but also took in the scenary. Shortly after crossing the finish in 4:24:21, she was already thinking about her next marathon. It looks like it will be CIM in December of this year. I think this is where she will qualify for the Boston Marathon.
Anyway, I think her medal looks pretty cool on me. Do you agree?
I wonder how long until she asks for it back.
