I think it's actually really nice to be able to take advantage of running two marathons after all your hard training efforts. It's such a time commitment to train that you might as well put it to "double" use, right? And that is awesome that your MIL will be visiting that weekend to cheer you on. I think it's such a great, amazing bonding experience when family members get to see us at these moments. (My mom had never seen me run a race, ever, until last fall. And it was awesome to have her finally get to watch me cross a finish line!)emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-65015845748471161992014-02-05T18:23:18.972-06:002014-02-05T18:23:18.972-06:00I've only mentioned Bataan in passing. It'...I've only mentioned Bataan in passing. It's a month after the El Paso marathon, so I don't want to count my chickens before they are hatched. If I'm too run down or injured, Bataan won't happen. But I'm really, really hoping it will. I'll already be mostly trained and I've heard it's a really powerful experience. Plus, I think I've conned my mother-in-law into visiting that weekend to be my cheerleader.

Otherwise I probably would have had to stop and change shoes so I didn't get frostbite!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394617623909746445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-68835784884470771062014-02-05T09:54:19.896-06:002014-02-05T09:54:19.896-06:00What type of shoes do you normally wear?

I know that Gore-Tex is available across a variety of running shoe brands, so I am sure that there are options out there that are truly comparable to your tried-and-true shoes!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-60189713232773418922014-02-05T09:51:19.175-06:002014-02-05T09:51:19.175-06:00Oooh, I don't think I remember you mentioning ...Oooh, I don't think I remember you mentioning the Bataan Memorial race! Did I miss that on your blog? What a unique experience that will be to run through White Sands Missile Range! And I myself didn't know what gaiters were until very recently, when a friend posted pictures of herself wearing some during a snow run. =D If your mom does end up getting some, would love to hear her thoughts on how they work for her!!!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-91525445901272499272014-02-05T09:50:36.798-06:002014-02-05T09:50:36.798-06:00Good to know!

In my opinion, every runner needs a pair of muck shoes in their arsenal.

(I wear the Mizuno Wave Riders and I like them very much.) Thanks for sharing your thoughts on your Brooks experience, I am glad to hear that I am not the only one for whom Brooks shoes don't seem to work!!!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-15998694522278187942014-02-05T09:21:33.052-06:002014-02-05T09:21:33.052-06:00Someone suggested to me that I wear gaiters for th...Someone suggested to me that I wear gaiters for the Bataan Memorial race in March. (Most of the race goes through White Sands Missile Range.) I was too embarrassed to tell her that I had no idea what gaiters were! Now I know! <br /><br />We don't get too much rain or snow in El Paso, but they get a fair amount in Dallas. I might suggest my mom look into these.

Glad to hear that you'd still wear them even though they're not your favorite.

I ordered Mizunos but they were out of stock and the place offered me these for the same blowout price. I want to like Brooks but I just don't. My feet feel weird in these when I approach 10 miles. I know I'd get blisters (as I do in all Brooks shoes) if I go much beyond that. Could not agree more on your assessment!Teamarciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843904545493985865noreply@blogger.com
