So if you're IN and running one of these events - good luck! Keep strong and don't forget to taper your mileage.
If you didn't make it in this year - or missed the deadline, keep going and stay motivated. The spring brings some great events in the half- and marathon distance.
For me, I'm going to keep stretching and icing those sore muscles and keep cross-training to keep my outlook set on the next race....maybe I can get my act together in time to run on Turkey Day!
See you out there - and keep running!!
