countdown to maine coast #1

Can you believe it's already time to start counting down to Maine Coast 26.2?! Yeah, me neither! Life has been so busy the last few months this hasn't really even been on my radar very much - aside from being sure to get at least one long run in a week. So it totally crept up on me.

But in less than 7 days, I'll be running marathon number six! Crazy. Which brings me to the picture countdown. This is my medal from my last marathon, the Kentucky Derby Festival Marathon. It was only two weeks after the Boston bombings last year so I decked myself out in blue and yellow, including ribbons tied around my pigtails. Even my brother was wearing BAA colors for his first marathon. You can read more about our experience here. :)
