…and counting to the 11th annual Little Rock Marathon! 

This will be my third year to participate in the Little Rock Half Marathon and I must say… I’m pretty excited about it!  

Have you seen the medal??

It is so cool!

I did not take part last year for the 10th anniversary of the event and I’m sad that I didn’t.  

I chose to do the OKC Memorial Half Marathon instead and it was a terrible, personal experience.  The race and atmosphere were great, but it rained, my shoes didn’t fit well and I hadn’t trained enough.  I had blisters the size of Texas on my feet and I was miserable for several days.  Not to mention, my race time was the worst EVER!  

So… I’m headed home to Hog Country and downtown Little Rock on Sunday, March 3rd!  My mom and dad have gone with me each year and will be waiting at the finish line when I cross it again this year.  It’s such a great experience!  

Here are some pictures from half marathons passed…

Here’s me in my first race in 2010…

And in 2011…

And, here is last year in OKC…

Those are not super flattering!!

I’m hoping to redeem myself this year on my time.  I’ve been training super hard.  I still need to get in some long distances, but I think I will be ready to go by the first Sunday in March!

The full and half marathons are sold out, but if you want to participate in the 5k or 10k, click HERE to head over to the Little Rock Marathon’s webpage!

Until next time…
