I am on the fence about signing up for the full. I've been going back and forth since registration opened! This would be my first full marathon (I've run 3 half marathons). Question for those of you who have run this event before... How did it work having your extra long training runs in December during the busy Christmas season? I live in Maine, so there is a good chance I would be doing December long runs on a treadmill. Any thoughts on feasibility of marathon training in December for a mom of 3 who works full time?
Personally I love these runs because I get to train through the holiday season. I also work full time, coach basketball and have 2 children, but these runs afford me some great "me" time during the most hectic part of the year. I do have family local and have occasionally requested some childcare assistance or a visitor pass to one of their gyms when the weather is bad, but otherwise I love logging my long runs through December. It's way better than training through the summer here Northern Virginia!
I say Go For It!!
