As Heather at Run Faster Mommy so eloquently (and hilariously) put it in here post HERE, running is like giving birth. You say you will NEVER DO IT AGAIN, but once the pain wears off you find yourself tempted... I have 2 babies...and so far 1 Marathon :)
I did not sign up for any of the races...but the fact that I even hit SEARCH tells me that in 2010 I may cross another Marathon finish line.
No promises... UGH!!!

I totally agree with that saying about birth, although, I am so done having babies, but can't stop running marathons! I knew you would try again! You need to come run Boston so we can meet!
I like the analogy between marathon-running and child-laboring pains. :)
I had no doubt you would do another marathon :) you are too driven and athletic to not want another chance :) :) :) cant wait to see what you pick!
We all do this!
I think you may have said that this blog was only to get to the marathon too. Looks like you might be hooked on this too :)
Can't wait to see what's next!
You'll be running one again :) i guarantee it :)
LOL...i knew it wouldn't take you long :D
I knew it!!! Pick something low key, flat, and fun. Give yourself time to rest as well.
Mel you will TOTALLY be doing another marathon, I've known it since the day you did your first. I can't wait to hear which one it will be and I big time can't wait to chat with you about it both in blog land and radio land! Woo hoo!!
while I only have one kid (can't seem to forget that experience yet) I keep signing up for marathons. My biggest "never again" is Pikes Peak Ascent. I purposely didn't sign up for this years race and now that it's a month away, I'm sick that I'm not going to do it!! My husband said I need to write down all the horrible elements of the race and focus on that before I go after it again. I just can't seem to remember them very well now :)
Ah...we are all glutons for punishment! ;)
Haha, didn't take too long! The first one is just like an appetizer.
So true! You run it, it hurts, you finish and you're so happy to be done with it... you swear you'll take a rest period, no more races anytime soon... and the next thing you know... the "itch" comes and you have got to get those shoes on! Good for you! Can't wait to see which one you decide to do!
