When your inner crazy becomes your outer crazy

July 29, 2012 by MCM Mama 26 Comments

Yesterday, Kim from Just Trying is for Little Girls shared this picture on Facebook…

5 (half) marathons. 5 days. 5 different states. And I need all 5 states.

My first thought was “You crazy.”  My next thought was “Hmm…”  I threw out the idea to Beer Geek, who is usually my reality check.  Instead of bringing my “great” idea to a quick halt, his response was “As long as I get to go too.” (’cause these would be all new counties for him.  Yes, he tracks what counties he’s visited.  )

Oh.my.

There are a ton of logistics to work out (boys would need to miss a week of school) and I need to start running more than 10 miles a WEEK LOL, but yeah, it sounds like a heck of a lot of pain fun.

So, who’s in?

    I’m so excited to do this! Can’t wait until March to see you again. I love how supportive your husband is. Get him to volunteer so you can get some free race entries. I plan to volunteer in the two states I don’t need.

    I wish! I would love to do something like that … Not sure that the travel would be feasible with a 2 yo, maybe someday when she’s older. I’ll be cheering with Miz!

    I live half an hour from Ulysses, Kansas, so I’d love to meet (and maybe run with) you if you do this. I’ll give you a warning…you will be running in the absolute middle of nowhere. Ulysses and Guymon are both teeny-tiny towns (bigger than the town I live in, but that’s not saying much). But I would bring you beer!

      Thanks for sharing about the size of the towns. I figured these races would be teeny tiny and not supported like the big ones. I hope you can run with us!

    Definitely sounds interesting and great that it meets both your desires. Has Beer Geek done all the counties where you live – your state? You can tell I am sure that I am quite interested in this whole geography thing. Great goals and fun.

    Love the idea! I say, go for it!! I would be crazy enough to do it,but I do not think my body would comply. Running 2 halfs 7 days apart caused my IT band to get very angry . . . so much so, that months later, I still cannot run.

      Rest assured, I will not be racing 5 days in a row. It’s going to be all about hitting the finish line.

    I saw that and did the same thing too. I pulled up the website, looked at the two different options, and have left the website pulled up on my phone so I guess you can call me crazy too because I’m actually considering it!
