Welcome May!
The beginning of April crawled for me because I was so uncomfortable and pregnant. The second half of April flew by in a baby time warp and I can’t believe it’s already May. May means lots of things in my house. This month I will be celebrating my 35th birthday as well as my 1st Mother’s Day but May also means marathons.
In May 2009, I ran my 1st marathon, the NJ Marathon in Long Branch, NJ.
It poured rain that day but I had the best time. My parents came to watch the marathon and the course was very spectator friendly. They were able to hang out in the host hotel and pop out on the course when I ran by. The NJ Marathon is this weekend and I hope all the runners have such a fun time. The course is awesome..flat, fast and by the ocean.
In May 2010, I ran the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon in Ohio. Again, it rained but again, I had a great time out on the course.
My mom flew out to Ohio with me and she again braved the rain to watch my run 26.2 miles. I do bring the rain to any marathon I sign up for in May! 
I didn’t run a May marathon last year nor am I going to this year, but I will be reading everyone’s race recaps.
What is your favorite May marathon?

May has always been ‘Off Season’ for me for some reason. Most of my races are either in October or April. I’d love to become a year-round runner though. That way I won’t lose my mojo in the ‘off season’ anymore like I had in the past! I can’t believe it’s already May!
