Half Fanatics

When I still planned on running the Run Woodstock trail marathon, I thought I would have a change to join the Marathon Maniacs. I would have met the criteria to join. I would have run a trail marathon and two ultra marathons in the span of six weeks. I could have joined at the bronze level of two marathons within a 16 day time frame and three marathons within a 90 day time frame. But it is not meant to be this year. Following the advice of the friend that is running my first ultra marathon with me, he suggested switching to the half marathon.

I looked up the Half Fanatics website because I'm running a bunch of half marathons this year. I believe I meet the criteria for the Neptune status. I don't know if my 25K that I'm running this week will count, so I'm skipping it in the count. I will be running a half marathon in Boston on May 29, a half marathon in Ann Arbor on June 5 and a half marathon in Pinckney on September 9. The criteria for Neptune is two half marathons with a 16 day time frame. I'm running two half's on back-to-back weekends. The second is three half marathons within a 90 day time frame (Boston, AA and Pinckney).

It will be exciting to join this group. Hopefully I'll be able to meet some fanatics at some local races.
