Long Beach Marathon

Hi Fellow Runners,

I'm all signed up for the Long Beach FULL Marathon. I figured signing up now would help me stay committed, as if SF and Disney wasn't motivation enough.

The full marathon is about $96.85 after all the fees were included and you have about 7 hours in which to complete the race. I put 4:26 - 4:45 as my estimated finish time.

For those chickens ;) interested in the half, it will cost about $76.85. But just think, for $20 more you get a bigger medal, potentially more fishy cakes (cuz you'll have burned so many calories that you'll be starving),  bragging rights, but even more importantly the knowledge that you started this journey having only ever ran 5 miles or less and were able to push your body and mind to 26.2 miles.

The race to a 13.1 mile finish was something I myself thought I never could or never would accomplish. But with a little help from my our FEMBA running group, I did it, we all did. I'm so excited for the next challenge to try and hit the 26.2 mile mark. I hope all of you will join me in this next adventure. I know we all can do it :).

Remember "Pain is Temporary, but Pride is Forever"
