Share Your Marathon Story

So even though just twelve hours ago I was walking to Fitness Magazine’s Meet & Tweet event, I’m now sitting in a Cincinnati hotel room.

Remember when I said the next few weeks were going to be travel whirlwinds? Yup, I wasn’t being dramatic, believe it or not.

While I was on the plane this evening, I took advantage of the peace and solitude to focus on some much needed blog work. I’m embarrassed that I’ve fallen so behind on blog emails, comments and projects. When I was searching my inbox I happened to come across the very first Marathon+Moderation guest post which was submitted. Good thing I came across it or I would have forgotten that its’ one year anniversary is only 10 days away!

A year ago I was just starting to think about the training cycle for my second marathon. At that point, I was without a coach and looking to learn from my peers who inspire me each weekend. A year later, over 40 bloggers and readers have shared their marathon stories. Some have been about new PRs while others have been about having the courage to DNF or listen to your body.

While each person’s story is very different, I’ve loved reading each of them! In honor of the year anniversary, I thought I’d capture them all here, on one page, for your reference. This post will become the Marathons+Moderation page on my site moving forward so you can easily reference your favorite tips and tricks.

It’s my goal to keep bringing you all guest posts each Wednesday from your favorite runners.  Until next week, here is the year in review.   If you want to share your marathon story, or have a runner who you’d like to see featured, let me know in the comments or send me an email!
