It's marathon time! We've got our running shoes packed and ready to head to the Alps this weekend for the Jungrau Marathon. It's been a good year of training, we're mostly healthy, and anticipating beautiful weather for two days of 26.2 up the trails. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the race, the starts were doubled and split into a two day event- I run Saturday and Derek will run Sunday. It's hard to believe the weekend is here. In the past year, we've put in lots of miles, lots of time preparing, and lots of focus on not getting injured. So here's hoping for good days and crossing the finish line!
We picked up our packets, rode the cogwheel up to a chalet in Wengen, and settled in for pre-race pasta and powerade on the patio. We watched the sunset on the Jungrfau, and tried to get a good night's sleep.
