6 Marathon Goal for 2013

2013 is a big year for me. Last year I participated in the ITU Long Course World Championships. It was the my unbelievable experience of my life. Not only did I travel to Europe, I also slapped the 'Team USA' logo on and then literally motored around Europe. It is something I can not possibly top.

This year I've decided to try in step it up in another direction. I really want to complete more marathons in one year than I ever have. I can't top last year in terms of experience, but I can create a new challenge and set of experiences!

I have now planned through September and I will have completed at least 6 marathons in 2013:

1. February: Mardi Gras. The town was still recovering from the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras double punch. I saw everything the town has to offer. Amazing.
2. March: New Jersey. Meh. Enough said.
3. April: Kentucky Derby Marahon in Lousiville. VERY excited about this race this coming weekend. Not only do I get peruse Louisville, visit where Mohammed Ali grew up, and preview the Kentucky Derby (which takes place a week after the race), I get to run in a bigish city which is always my favorite type of marathon.
4. May: Providence. I visited this town for about 4 hours back in my AAU basketball days. Look forward to visiting the colleges of the area and getting a taste for life in one my of my last New England states.
5. June: South Bend. We finish in Notre Dame stadium. Any questions?
• Marriage: Going to take a weekend off Mid June and get hitched. Then the following week taking a NON race holiday to St John USVI. Epic Honeymoon planned.
6. September: Maui. Time off is confirmed. First hotel is booked. This is happening. Hawaii. The jewel in the crown of any 50 stater's journey. 

Then I'll always have October, November, December if i want to get one more in. But 6 marathons in one year... that will be the most for me. It will be an amazing feat. What am I going to do in 2014? Rest.
