Half-Marathon
http://www.mdiymca.org/half_mara.htm
On Thursday my Mom and I registered to walk a half-marathon (click on link to view details). It’s in Bar Harbor and it’s in September on a Saturday. I am quite looking forward to it. Somehow my Mom missed the fact that a marathon is 26 miles and said she’d rather do a half. Unfortunately, the Mt. Desert Island Marathon that we were going to do in October did not offer a half-marathon option, but kindly provided a link to the Bar Harbor one. We will still be in Acadia National Park for most of it and should still be beautiful, even though the foliage won’t be quite near peak. It’s nice that it’s on a Saturday so that we have Sunday to recover and enjoy Bar Harbor. In all my trips to Maine, I’ve never been to Bar Harbor or Acadia. This can also be a start to reaching my lifelong goal of visiting on the National Parks before I die.
Two women from my church are considering running either the half or the 5K and coming with us. Anyone else want to run/ walk it? It’ll be a good time!!! The cost is only $42 and the money goes to the Mount Desert Island YMCA. There are several different lodging options- I’m not sure where we will stay yet but if we share rooms it will keep the cost down. If you’ve never been to Maine and like walking/running then you should come!
Do I have any takers? Rosa? L? We can leave the boys at home and I have a girl’s weekend…. You know you want to….
