Today registration opened for the Raleigh City of Oaks Marathon here in town. Raleigh used to have its own marathon but it disappeared for several years and has now returned. I registered for it this morning, making it the first marathon I have registered for and likely the first I will participate in. There’s an outside chance of doing another between now and then but I doubt I will. The registration is $50 and limited to the first 5000 participants. The 5000 limitation is cumulative and includes both the marathon and half-marathon. This race is one month after the Austin Livestrong Challenge so Ill be in shape but possibly still pretty knackered.

Take a look at the website and sign up if you’re so inclined. Through training for the Livestrong Challenge I’ve found myself adopting a much healthier and active lifestyle and you probably will as well, if not already. Once you cross that first Livestrong Challenge finish and experience that high of completion you’ll want to get it again and again by pushing yourself further and further. It may not be a marathon but you’ll find yourself doing much more than before you started.
