Outside Chance for Alaska
Until I had some fits with my IT band, my plan was to get in a position to run full marathons this month in Washington and Oregon. However, that went awry.
I readjusted my thoughts and was going to wait until late in the fall to run any more marathons. Probably in November and December when the temperatures would be more conducive for me.
There is an outside chance that I may be looking at marathon #10 and one of the two hardest states (in the quest for 50 states) for state #7 in the Frank Maier Marathon in Juneau, Alaska on Sunday, August 5th.
I had planned to take two weeks of vacation - the weeks of July 24th and July 31st - since I missed out on taking Waverly out on the road for Spring Break like we normally do. (I have to be nice here.) Some slippage in timelines are forcing me to give up the week of July 24th, but I'm trying to hold fast to the weeks of July 31st and August 7th. Especially since Waverly goes back to the school the following week.
I can get reward travel, using about two-thirds of my miles on Continental, but it is just making sure that I can get away. Hotel, car and sightseeing would be the biggest expenses otherwise.
I'll keep you posted. If so, it looks like that I'll be having to get in long runs past a half marathon in the month of July. Maybe I'll get the bulk of them in up here (in Vancouver).
