Haven't been posting much but still reading along!
ATTQOTD: I used to not give this much thought. After the first half marathon I ran in 2016, got a little bit excited and signed up for two half marathons within about 6 weeks of each other, not realizing that trying to race both of those as a newer runner to the half distance was probably not the best idea I've ever had. Enter Coach DB and knowledge of training cycles, training paces, race paces, etc, so I started picking a few "A" races for the year. Last year was a local 10 miler in May for POT for WDW and a local half in the fall, with the WDW marathon in January. I was feeling a little lost as to 2018 goals and races (the marathon took up a lot of space in my mind for quite some time, but it was totally worth it). As I've been enjoying my post race recovery over here (catching up on books, yoga, and Netflix), have decided on a spring 15k (have never done this distance before) and a fall half for now. May add some other races to do as fun-runs/training runs. For the fall race, convinced DH that we should sign up for the Monterey Bay Half Marathon which is in November. This would be our first non-Disney runcation, and he couldn't be more excited...usually don't have to twist his arm too much for a trip to CA for any reason. BTW, does anyone know if this race sells out quickly? I have the registration date on my calendar!
With that, @LSUlakes would you mind adding this to the front page when you get a minute?
4/7 - sourire - Hot Chocolate 15k Philadelphia - goal: 1:41
And here were my times from marathon weekend:
1/5 - sourire - WDW 10k - 1:25:37 (Went at easy pace and took in the sights - thoroughly enjoyed it!)
1/7 - sourire - WDW marathon - 5:24:26!! (Highly doubt it was a one and done marathon - definitely one of the most amazing experiences of my life!)

My goal race is Woodstock 100 in September and I built all my races around the training plan towards that goal. This included attempting an “easy” 100 in July to wrap my head around the distance as Woodstock adds an elevation and technical component that is going to make it more difficult. BTW I am not calling the July race easy, that is how it was described to me. I am sure it will leave me a wimpering mess!
