So I didn't get into the Tokyo Marathon in Feb. bit of a blessing in disguise as I would have struggled to afford a decent length stay to make it worthwhile.
That leaves Paris on 12th April as a definite and I'm still waiting to hear about London for 26th April.
but Run Dem Crew have also just decided they're going to run the first Marathon de Bordeaux Metropole on the 18th April.
and crazily I'm sorely tempted to do it. my marathon training is going to be kicked up a notch this year (training towards a 3:20-3:30) and will be extending the mileage a bit more on the easy runs this time around whereever I can and this year I'll be doing strength training whereas last year i neglected that side of things.
I reckon the first two at least are doable, if i do get into london I think I'd just run it again for the occasion rather than to beat my previous time.
it's probably not my best idea ever but the thought of doing 2 marathons in a week or 3 in 2 weeks really appeals.
